Feta is Greek!

Since October 2007 producers of cheese all over the world, are not allowed to call their white cheese feta. Many countries such as Denmark, France, Germany etc. sold their white cheese made of cow's milk, as feta. But after October 2002 the ECJ decided that the only cheese that can be called feta is the one from Greece. So do buy the greek feta, the next time you go shopping because it gives the salad a different, unique taste.

    Feta is so amazing. I've found a source that uses only Sheep milk and it agrees with my much more than other types.
