Sheep cheese (Feta)

Feta is the most famous traditional Greek cheese. It is manufactured from pure sheep’s milk with up to 30% of goat's. It has a salty, slightly and acid taste and natural white colour. Feta is manufactured mainly in mountainous and semi- mountainous regions of Greece where the use of any harmful substances (fertilisers, pesticides etc.) is very scarce.

Feta is produced by little family “factories” or huge industrialised factories. It is a soft cheese and kept in brine for at least two months. The average composition of Feta is: moisture 52.9%, fat 26.2%, proteins 16.7%, salt 2.9% and pH 4.4.
