What it is

Feta is a brined curd white cheese made from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. It originated in Greece and is traditionally aged in brine, which gives it a salty, tangy flavor and a crumbly texture.

Why it's used

Feta is used as a table cheese, in salads, and as a topping for various dishes. Manufacturers add it for its distinct salty and tangy flavor profile, which enhances the taste of savory foods.

Health notes

Feta cheese is a dairy product and a source of protein and calcium. The FDA considers it generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like the WHO/FAO's JECFA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Like other cheeses, feta is high in sodium due to the brining process, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring their sodium intake.

Allergen info

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