fetas
Crumbly brined cheeses
Fetas is the plural of feta, a brined white cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk.
Originating in Greece, feta has a crumbly texture and tangy, salty flavor that makes it essential in Greek salads and Mediterranean cooking.
She crumbled two different fetas over the salad to compare their flavors.
The term is protected in the European Union, where only cheese produced in certain regions of Greece can legally be called feta.
