Greek feta
Crumbly white cheese
Greek feta is feta cheese made in Greece, as opposed to feta-style cheeses produced elsewhere.
The European Union grants Greece protected designation of origin for feta, meaning only cheese made in certain Greek regions using traditional methods can legally be sold as "feta" within the EU: Is this Greek feta or the Bulgarian kind?
