Feta Cheese

Known as Greece’s national cheese, feta has been an essential food in Mediterranean countries for centuries.

Origin: Greece

Cheese Type: Fresh Cheese

Characteristics:
Feta is aged in brine, which is why it is also called "pickled cheese."
Storing it in brine extends its shelf life, but it also makes the cheese quite salty.
It has a firm, crumbly texture while also offering a creamy taste.
Feta is commonly enjoyed in Greek salads with tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions or used as a topping for pizza and pasta.
It is also widely incorporated into bread dough.
This cheese pairs exceptionally well with fruit-forward red wines or slightly bitter white wines.
