Philippine Produce Feta Cheese

When you're into business, it's like you're also putting your money in a gamble. The return of your investment could not be 100 percent sure, or even resulted into bankruptcy.

But this fate had not happened to the owner of the JSJ GOAT FARM, Jeffrey and Kathleen Lim when they put-up their hobby turn business. Out of 10 purebred goats in June 2001 they successfully breed 300 heads as of today and continuously expanding in their 10 hectares pasture in Barangay Caturay, Gerona, Tarlac.

To acquire more upgraded breed of goats, in March 2005 they imported hybrid goats from Australia. Some of the breeds that they have now are the Boer, Anglo Nubian, Saanen and British Alpines. Aside from goats they have also sheep like the Dorpers.

Out of the goats that they breed, they sell this for market consumption. Others are for the production of milk which the supply in the supermarket are not enough to cater the demand.

Because of excess production of milk, the owner then eventually started to think for a solution which can even generate another income for their pocket. Until, they come up in studying the process of cheese making. It took about a year the perfectness of Feta cheese production.

Feta (Greek: φέτα) is a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece. Feta is an aged crumbly cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. It is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads (e.g. the Greek salad), pastries and in baking, notably in the popular phyllo-based dishes spanakopita ("spinach pie") and tyropita ("cheese pie") and combined with olive oil and vegetables. It can also be served cooked or grilled, as part of a sandwich or as a salty alternative to other cheeses in a variety of dishes.

Today, Aussie Feta Cheese is now available in market with an introductory price of P250. Aside from this they have also the kesong-puti a perfect combination of the hot pandesal for a typical Filipino breakfast.
