Product Description
Feta is the national cheese of Greece, and surely the best-known Greek cheese outside of Greece. Our Barrel-aged Feta is cultivated December through April from a blend of all-natural milk from free-range sheep and goat herds. Curd is molded in large round forms, which are hand-turned frequently as they drain. As the whey drains, the cheese-crafter adjusts timing to perfect each wheel's texture. After skillful dry-salting, wheels are placed in birch barrels for aging and preservation. There they sit in a 7% brine solution that originally allowed farmers to preserve their milk in the hot Mediterranean climate. Today that brine gives feta its characteristic tang. By the end of the four-month maturation, a wonderfully creamy, rich, complex flavor is fully developed. The care that goes into this feta is evident by its incredible flavor.Enjoy this premium feta in a traditional cheese pie, over eggs, stuffed into squash blossoms, or even fried. Or just relax with a slab of feta drizzled with olive oil and garnished with fresh oregano. Opa!- Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.
- We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
