Sheep's Milk Feta Cheese

Sheep's Milk Feta Cheese

Everyday

Sheep's milk feta is a traditional brined curd cheese known for its distinctively sharp, tangy flavor and crumbly yet creamy texture. This variety of feta contains higher protein and fat content than cow's milk versions, while offering a characteristically rich, complex taste profile due to the unique composition of sheep's milk. Traditional Greek feta is made exclusively from sheep's milk or a blend with up to 30% goat's milk, and is aged in brine which contributes to its signature salty character and helps preserve the cheese.
