What Is Feta Cheese?

Feta is a brined curd cheese traditionally made from sheep’s milk or a blend of sheep and goat’s milk. It originates from Greece and is known for its crumbly texture and tangy flavor. Our feta follows this rich tradition, offering a carefully aged product that’s both authentic and adaptable to a wide range of dishes.

The Texture and Taste Profile

• Texture: Firm and crumbly, yet creamy when cut or blended
• Flavor: Sharp, salty, tangy, with a slightly nutty undertone
• Aroma: Mildly pungent, fresh, and dairy-forward

This flavor profile makes feta a go-to ingredient for chefs seeking to elevate their dishes with depth and balance.

Common Culinary Uses of Feta Cheese

Salads and Cold Dishes

• Greek Salad: The classic tomato, cucumber, red onion, and kalamata olive salad isn’t complete without generous feta crumbles.
• Chickpea or Couscous Salad: Adds creaminess and tang to grain-based salads.
• Watermelon and Mint Salad: A summer favorite with a unique sweet-and-salty contrast.

Hot Dishes

• Stuffed Peppers or Eggplants: Feta brings a savory punch to vegetable-based dishes.
• Baked Pastas and Casseroles: Crumbled feta can be sprinkled over baked ziti or lasagna for extra depth.
• Oven-Roasted Veggies: Adds a creamy and salty counterpoint to roasted zucchini, bell peppers, or sweet potatoes.

Breakfast and Brunch

• Omelets and Scrambles: A spoonful of feta turns a simple egg dish into something gourmet.
• Savory Muffins or Tarts: Use feta to add complexity and richness.

Fusion Dishes

Feta’s bold flavor works wonderfully in fusion cuisine:

• Tacos with Feta and Lamb
• Feta Flatbread with Za’atar
• Shakshuka with Crumbled Feta

Feta Cheese and the Health-Conscious Consumer

Today’s diners are more informed than ever. Feta appeals to health-conscious consumers because it:

• Has fewer calories and fat compared to many other cheeses
• Is rich in calcium and protein
• Contains probiotics that may aid digestion

By stocking feta, your business aligns with trending consumer priorities like nutrition, authenticity, and global cuisine.

Best Practices for Handling and Serving Feta in Foodservice

Storage Tips

• Always keep feta in its original brine to preserve freshness.
• Store at 1–4°C (33–39°F) for maximum shelf life.
• Once removed from brine, use within 5–7 days.

Serving Suggestions

• For salads, allow feta to reach room temperature before crumbling to improve flavor release.
• For cooked dishes, add feta in the last few minutes to retain its texture and brightness.
• Combine with fresh herbs or drizzle with olive oil to enhance flavor.
