Feta cheese (recipes)


A creamy white Greek cheese traditionally made from ewes' milk or ewes' and goats' milk mixed together (but now sometimes made using cows' milk) and preserved in brine or oil. It has quite a salty flavour but it shouldn' t be so salty that it detracts from the flavour of the cheese. If you want to remove some of the saltiness, just soak the cheese in milk or water for a couple of minutes.In Greek cooking feta is used mostly for gratins and pastries and, of course, the classic Greek salad. It holds its shape quite well so can be carefully skewered and grilled or barbecued. Cut it in cubes and serve as a snack with olives and crusty bread. You can buy feta pre-packed in most supermarkets or it' s available ready-cubed in jars of oil, often flavoured with herbs.Feta, olive and sun-dried tomato sconeQuick spanakopitaGreek salad
