Feta Cheese

Feta is a traditional Greek cheese with a protected designation of origin, made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. It has a characteristic white colour, crumbly texture and a bold, salty, slightly tangy flavour. It is aged in brine, which gives it its distinctive character. In the kitchen, feta is an essential ingredient in Greek salad, but it also suits baked dishes, pastries such as spanakopita, pizza and stuffed vegetables. It pairs beautifully with tomatoes, olives, cucumber and fresh herbs. Marinated in olive oil with herbs, it also makes a delicious spread.
