Feta Cheese is a famous brined cheese originating from Greece. Known for its crumbly texture, creamy mouthfeel, and tangy, salty flavor, feta is traditionally made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. Today, it is enjoyed worldwide in salads, sandwiches, pastries, and Mediterranean dishes. 

Feta cheese is aged in brine, which gives it its distinctive taste and helps maintain its soft texture. It is a key ingredient in many classic Greek recipes and pairs beautifully with olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, and olive oil. Rich in protein, calcium, and beneficial nutrients, feta is both flavorful and versatile. 

Whether crumbled over salads, baked into savory pastries, or served as part of a mezze platter, feta cheese adds a delicious Mediterranean touch to any meal. 

Cooking Method


  1.  Heat the milk to 30°C (86°F). 
  2.  Add the starter culture and let it ripen for 1 hour. 
  3.  Stir in the calcium chloride if using. 
  4.  Add the diluted rennet and mix gently. 
  5.  Let the milk sit undisturbed for 45–60 minutes until a firm curd forms. 
  6.  Cut the curd into small cubes and rest for 10 minutes. 
  7.  Stir gently and allow the curds to release whey. 
  8.  Transfer the curds into cheese molds lined with cheesecloth. 
  9.  Drain for 12–24 hours, turning occasionally. 
  10.  Cut the cheese into blocks and salt all sides. 
  11.  Place the blocks in brine and age for at least 1 week before serving.
