Feta Cheese is a Greek cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk. It is salted and cured in brine in large blocks for months to achieve optimum flavor.
It is a white cheese with a salty flavor that can be mild or sharp and a texture that ranges from semi-hard to soft. It typically has a milk fat content of 45%.
The name is protected by the European Union, which requires feta to contain at least 70% sheep's milk and the remainder to be goat's milk.
Feta is used in salads, sandwiches, pastries, and phyllo-based Greek dishes such as spanakopita.
Scientists have recently discovered that a strain of the bacteria enterococci, found in feta cheese, may fight against food poisoning.
