Steps to make Farmers Cheese with Greek Yogurt (Tvorog)
1 | Combine ingredients | 2 |
In a large pot, whisk 1 gallon milk with 35 ounces Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons of sour cream until combined. | ||
2 | Heat mixture | 1h |
Cover pot with a lid and place in an oven at 100 ˚F for 1 hour until lukewarm. Take care to not overheat the mixture. | ||
3 | Rest | 24h |
Leave the pot with the mixture in a warm room or area for about 24 hours until thickened to a condensed milk texture. Do not stir or mix. | ||
4 | Reheat | 40 |
Return the pot to the stove low heat and heat for about 40 minutes or until warm. Do not stir or overheat. | ||
5 | Day 2 rest | 24h |
Once heated, remove and return to the warm room or area for another 24 until the mixture reaches a consistency similar to yogurt. | ||
6 | Day 3 reheat | 40 |
Return the pot to the stove over medium-low heat for 40 minutes or until heated and the cheese has separated from the whey. Remove from the heat and set aside, covered, for about an hour. | ||
7 | Strain | 10h |
Place 2 layers of cheesecloth over a large colander and place inside a larger bow or potl. Pour the cooled cheese mixture over cheesecloth. (Reserve the whey liquid for other uses such as bread making) Tie the cheesecloth with a knot and leave to hang over the sink, over a large pot or jug, for about 8-10 hours to completely drain. | ||
8 | Serve | |
Remove cheese from the cheesecloth and serve with crusty bread, if you wish and enjoy! | ||

My kids love tvorog in their sandwiches!! it goes well with some peppered salami no cheese needed either.
Not too shabby but it is hard to make.
Okay so the timing is legit insane, but i think it's totally worth it because you can make so much that will last a long time and you get to add or subtract anything you dislike or want in it for example i put some chili flakes in mine to make it a bit spicy.
Favorite vegetarian farmers cheese ! Homemade is always the way to go.
Takes way too long to make this i'd rather just buy it next time but thx anyway.
Mine didn't come out looking quite like the photo, looked more like a toothpaste mix with baking soda lol, it was still delish tho.
Tasty affordable and easy to make, say no more i'm on it (-;
Amazingly simple thanks to you Lilly, thanks so much for sharing it with us love all your hard work and creative meals.
Loved this cheese with some ciabatta bread as spread delicious!
This was fancy to say the least, normally I just hop in the world foods shop and buy it but making it from scratch was a lot more rewarding :)
Well done! Approved!
