Undoubtedly one of the most famous Greek cheeses, Feta cheese presents a variety of textures and flavours depending on each region. Feta from Thessaly has a more intense, robust flavour than its Peloponesian counterparts.
Characteristics: Feta’s distinctively salty and tangy flavours are enhanced by the brine solution it’s aged in.
Best with: Traditionally used in Greek salad and spanakopita, this cheese is delicious with olive oil, roasted peppers and dried nuts. Pair it with a Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc or Zinfandel to counteract its natural saltiness.
