Feta is a soft, crumbly cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep and goat's milk, originating from Greece. It has a tangy, salty flavor with a creamy yet slightly grainy texture that makes it a versatile ingredient in many dishes. Commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, feta is often crumbled over salads, stuffed into pastries like spanakopita, or served alongside olives and fresh vegetables. Historically, feta has been a staple of Greek culinary culture for centuries, celebrated for its unique taste and its role in traditional foods that highlight regional agricultural practices.
