Farma Tsalimakou - Feta - 800g

About the product

This feta is made from pasteurized goat's and sheep's milk, with salt, culture and rennet added during production. It is supplied in a 1.5kg block (net weight 1.550g), typically cured and matured in brine, which gives the cheese its firm, slightly crumbly texture and sharp, salty flavor. The milk ratio of goat's to sheep's milk affects the final taste, generally making it tangier and less creamy than feta made purely from sheep's milk.

About the company

Feta production in Greece is tied to specific regions recognized under PDO status, where sheep and goats graze on local pasture and the milk is processed close to the point of origin. Traditional methods call for brining the curds in wooden or metal barrels, a step that shapes the texture and extends shelf life without the need for additional preservatives. Many producers work on a small to mid scale, supplying curd that has been salted and left to firm up over several weeks before packaging. The result is a product with regional variation depending on the season, the mix of goat's and sheep's milk used, and the length of maturation.

Instructions

Store the block in its brine or liquid until ready to use, as this keeps the texture firm and prevents it from drying out. Serve cold or at room temperature, cut into cubes or slices for salads, mezze platters or as a table cheese. It also holds up well when baked, grilled or crumbled over cooked vegetables, and pairs with olive oil, oregano and olives in typical Greek preparations.
