To prepare the cashews - Place your cashews in a bowl and cover with 2 - 3 inches of water. Let soak overnight, 8 - 12 hours. Drain and rinse well, using your hands to help rinse the jelly coating.


To prepare the cheese mixture - Add all your ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender. Mix until smooth and creamy, 30 - 60 seconds. Taste and adjust the level of salt and acidity to your liking.


For smooth and spreadable feta cheese - Transfer your mixture into a bowl and serve. Alternatively, let rest 2+ hours in the fridge for a slightly firmer feta cheese.


For cubed feta cheese - Line a 8x8 baking dish with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Transfer your feta mixture into the pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, 1 - 2 inches thick.


Place the pan in the fridge to set for 4+ hours (overnight is fine).


Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. While the oven is heating, remove your cheese from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature.


Bake your cheese, uncovered, for 25 - 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and it appears puffy.


Remove the cheese from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Slice and cube into desired feta shape.
