Real Greek Feta
Apologies, this item is no longer available.
We’re no strangers to the innovations of the ancient Greeks—the Olympic games, theater, and even democracy made their way stateside from the noble Hellenic Republic. What a shock, then, that we’re only just discovering Greece’s most perfected indulgence: Real Greek Feta. Only 2% of feta consumed in the U.S. actually hails from Greece, a fact we’d imagine makes Zeus want to toss a few lightning bolts, but never fear—we’ve sought out an incredibly authentic, delightfully delicious Greek feta. Sourcing pure sheep milk directly from the ancient Greek regions of Thessaly and Macedonia, our Greek artisans follow the original, millennia-old recipe before carefully aging in wooden barrels for sixty days, resulting in a creamy, decadent texture and tangy, citric flavor unparalleled among fetas. Enjoy Real Greek Feta broiled on toast with roasted red peppers, tossed in pasta with chicken and artichokes, or crumbled alongside chunks of juicy watermelon for a salty-sweet delight.
