Does cheese have to have rennet? I'm making yoghurt, with a machine, leave for 24 hours after making then drain for 2 hours for a Greek style yoghurt. I left it to drain for a couple of hours extra by accident and it was almost like soft cheese. I'm trying it intentionally this time to see if it will work. How much salt would you add per litre ?

Cottage cheese / paneer types often use a dash of acid (vinegar or lemon juice) instead of rennet. I just salt to taste afterwards, but then I stuff it into my face too quickly to worry about preservation
