What is Feta Cheese?

Feta cheese is a brined cheese. Traditional feta is made from goat's and sheep's milk, though some cheese makers particularly in the US, use cow's milk. This does not give the same tangy and rich flavor. Feta is a white cheese that comes in a saltwater brine. It is soft and crumbly with a flavor that is salty, tangy, creamy and bright. Feta is key ingredient in spanakopita, also called spinach pie.
