The World in Cheeses

Feta
Feta is a white, pressed cheese made out of curds, much like paneer. After it’s made into blocks, it’s then stored in brine, which gives the cheese it’s distinctive squeaky texture and salty flavor. It’s most often made from sheep milk, but can also be made from goat milk.
Like many European cheeses, only products that are made in Greece from traditional recipes can be called feta. Feta is often eaten wrapped in phyllo pastry, either on its own or with sautéed spinach in a tasty snack called spanakopita.
