3. Remove the mixture from the blender and place the cheese in a nut bag or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess liquid.
4. Twist around the cheese, forming into an orange-sized ball and squeezing to help extract moisture. Secure with a rubber band or kitchen twine.
5. Put it in the refrigerator to set for about 12 hours.

Notes*

• After the Almond Feta cheese has set, you can serve as is or if you would like it to be firmer, remove the cheese from the cloth or nut bag and shape into a disc. Dehydrate at 115° F (44° C) for 1 - 2 hours. When cool, refrigerate in an airtight container.
