fetta
Brined white cheese
Fetta is an alternative spelling of feta, the crumbly white cheese traditionally made from sheep's or goat's milk.
The double-t spelling reflects Greek pronunciation more closely and appears on some product labels, though feta remains the dominant English spelling: a salad topped with fetta and olives.
