Feta
Feta is one of the most famous cheeses in Greece. It is made in various sizes, often as a
loaf-shape. Feta is solid, but crumbly with some fissures. Pure white, it has a milky
fresh acidity. Feta was originally made with either ewe's milk or a mixture of ewe's and
goat's milk, but today most feta is made with pasteurized milk and tastes of little
besides salt. Some people are put off by the strong salt content but the salt is intended
only as a preservative and is not supposed to overpower the taste of the cheese. Feta can
be soaked in fresh, cold water or milk for a few minutes or longer, if necessary, to make
it less salty. It has a fat content of 40 - 50%
