The history of Feta cheese, though often under debate, has been traced to the Balkan Peninsula in modern-day Bulgaria. Bulgarian Feta is made from pure sheep’s milk from ewes that graze in the Rhodope Mountains and features a stark white color and slightly salty flavor with a refreshing, tangy finish. Stemming from the Italian word for slice, or “fetta,” this feta cheese is formed into blocks and sliced, making it perfect for a drizzle of olive oil, or crumbed into your favorite dishes. Feta is a must-have on salads, and can also be used as a topping on pizza or in a wrap with fresh grilled vegetables. It also makes an excellent stuffing for hors d’oeuvres. Pair this white cheese with a white wine like a wonderful Chenin Blanc, or a light Hefeweizen beer.
Available by the wedge or crumbled.
