Step 1 - Mix salt with the natural yogurt. Line a sieve with two layers of cheesecloth (or strong paper towels or clean Chux cloths). Place sieve over a large bowl and drain for 2 days in the fridge. I found that I had to empty the whey after a few hours as there was a lot of whey within the first 2-3 hours.

Step 2 - In two days, chop up herbs finely and place on a plate. On another plate, place some of your favourite spice mix.

Step 3 - Roll the drained yogurt into balls and then roll in herbs or spices. Place in a clean glass jar with olive oil. Marvel at your cheese making skills just quietly ;)
