What is Greek Style Cheese? Taste, Texture and More

Made from sheep's milk or a mix of sheep and goat's milk, Greek style cheese like feta is a versatile ingredient. It is favoured in savoury meals as well as some pastry recipes. Aged in brine, this soft, white cheese boasts a crumbly, slightly grainy texture and comes readily available in large blocks.

Due to its creamy, crumbly mouthfeel and slightly salty taste, Greek style cheese is popular in many salads, stews and Mexican dishes. Try preparing this baked Greek style cheese recipe and serving it with a Couscous salad. You can also put together a panzalla salad with Greek style cheese.

Unlike other cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella and goat’s cheese, feta cheese doesn't melt, giving you a unique texture in dishes such as pasta and pizza. Instead of the usual gooey cheese, you'll enjoy delicious, chewy chunks that you can really sink your teeth into.
