Brined white curds
Feta cheese is a brined white cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk, originating in Greece.
It has a crumbly texture and tangy, salty flavor that intensifies with age.
Feta is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, appearing in salads, pastries, and as a table cheese.
She crumbled feta cheese over the Greek salad.
The term is protected in the European Union, where only cheese made in certain regions of Greece using traditional methods can legally be called feta.
