Feta is a brined curd white cheese made from sheep’s milk or from a mixture of sheep and goat’s milk. It originated in Greece. Feta is used as a table cheese as well as in salads and pastries. Most notable is its use in the popular phyllo-based dish, spanakopita. It can also be served cooked or grilled, which is fun when served with crusty bread.
