What goes with Feta?
Feta is a traditional brined cheese produced primarily from sheep's milk, often with up to 30% goat's milk. It is rich in milk proteins, calcium, lactic acid and milk fat, with a firm yet crumbly structure and high moisture content. Ripening in brine preserves freshness while contributing its characteristic salinity and tangy flavour.
