Feta Cheese is a cured cheese that is briefly pickled in whey brine, two months at most. This brining produces a tangy taste and aroma. Feta Cheese is traditionally made with goat’s or sheep’s milk—in the U.S., cow’s milk varieties are quite common.

Feta Cheese has a higher water content than other cheeses, making it a low-calorie cheese option. It can dry out quickly (even when refrigerated), so be sure to store airtight once opened.
