Feta Cheese

Feta cheese is a white crumbly cheese, originally made from sheeps milk and originating from Greece. Feta is the Greek word for 'slice' referring to the slices of sheeps' milk curd which were allowed to drain and then packed in a brine solution

Other Eastern European countries produced white cheeses from sheep and goat milk but most of the export Feta now is made from unpasturised cows milk and could come from Western European countries such as France and Denmark.

In fact, just about every country now produces it's own 'feta' cheese as is evidenced from your supermarket shelves - much, I daresay, to the chagrin of the purists - and the Greeks....

Be all that as it may...feta is great in salads. I suggest you try different varieties and decide what you like.
