WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT FETA: Feta is a traditional Greek brine cheese always made with either sheep’s milk or sheep and goat’s milk. It is also a PDP cheese, which stands for Protected Designation of Origin, meaning that real feta can only be made in specific places within Greece. These places are recognized for their long-standing traditions, climatic conditions and other factors relating to the quality production of cheese in the traditional way. No other country in the EU is permitted by law to produce feta under the name feta. They must call it something else, typically white brine cheese. Unfortunately, that law does not extend to the United States, so we have “feta” produced in various parts of the US, mostly with cow’s milk, and its flavor, texture and overall profile have little to do with the real Greek cheese. Authentic Greek feta is NEVER produced from cow’s milk!
