What it is

Feta cheese is a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. The cheese is known for its salty, tangy flavor and crumbly texture. It is typically aged in brine, which helps preserve it and gives it its characteristic taste.

Why it's used

Feta cheese crumbles are used to add a salty, tangy flavor and a crumbly texture to a variety of dishes. Manufacturers use it in salads, pizzas, pasta dishes, and as a topping for vegetables and meats. Its distinct flavor profile makes it a popular choice for adding a Mediterranean flair to recipes.

Health notes

Feta cheese is a dairy product and a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Like other cheeses, it is high in sodium due to the brining process. The FDA considers cheese to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). International bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption of feta cheese as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Feta cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
