Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess liquid, but don't go crazy with it.

Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes and add it to a mixing bowl.

Add water, apple cider vinegar, and lemon or lime juice to the bowl.

Eyeball the amount of dried parsley, fresh thyme, and fresh basil, and add them to the bowl.

Add fresh garlic to the bowl.

Add fresh ground black pepper, a little bit of salt, and nutritional yeast to the bowl.

Mix everything very well together until the tofu is well coated.

Cool the mixture in the fridge and let it marinate for at least 4 to 6 hours.

Transfer the marinated tofu cheese to a glass jar and add more herbs on top for later use.
