do you like feta cheese?do you know where it comes from?huh?

Answer 1

Feta (Greek: φέτα, feminine gender meaning 'slice (piece)') is a classic curd cheese in brine whose tradition dates back to Greece thousands of years ago. It is traditionally made exclusively from goat's and sheep's milk, but cow's milk varieties are readily available in some areas. It is also enjoyed in Bulgaria and Turkey known as beyaz peynir (white cheese).

It is salted and cured in a brine solution (which can be either water or whey) for 3 to several months. Feta dries out rapidly when removed from the brine. Feta cheese is white, usually formed into square cakes, and can range from soft to semi-hard, with a tangy, salty flavor that can range from mild to sharp. Its fat content can range from 30 to 60 percent; most is around 45 percent milk fat.

Feta cheese is covered by a protected designation of origin (PDO). It is one of the ingredients of Greek salad. Feta, like most cheeses, can also be served cooked; it is sometimes grilled as part of a sandwich.

History
What we now call feta cheese was known to ancient Greeks, at least since Homer's era, as there were several references to it in the Odyssey. The myth has it that the cyclop Polyphemus was the first cheese manufacturer. Carrying the milk that he collected from his sheep in animal-skin bags, he realised, to his great surprise, that days later the milk had become a solid, savory and preservable mass. However, it is very likely that other civilizations might also have discovered cheese independently.

The name Feta has an Italian origin, being derived from fetta (slice), and dates back to the 17th century, likely referring to the method of cutting the cheese in thin slices to serve on plate.
