Krinos Greek Feta Cheese Pail 10 lb.

Details

Serve creamy, authentic brined feta cheese with this Krinos Greek feta cheese pail! A classic staple in Greece, this cheese is made from free-roaming sheep's milk and is imported from the Epirus region of Greece. This cheese boasts the PDO designation, certifying that it is produced in a specific protected denomination of origin (PDO). Strict production methods and guidelines ensure this cheese is authentically made and has the prized milky, salty flavor and terroir of the region. This cheese gets its salty, tangy, full-bodied flavor from its 90 day aging period where it soaks in brine to impart flavor and create the creamy, yet crumbly texture that makes feta unique. As part of the popular Mediterranean diet, this cheese is lower in fat compared to other cheeses and is an excellent source of probiotics, calcium, and protein.

This incredibly versatile cheese can be served as a table cheese, used in baking savory dishes, or served as an appetizer. Feta is the perfect salty addition to your salad, olive, tomato, and green vegetable recipes; it pairs well with everything from roasted peppers, beets, and carrots to fresh watermelon. Use it to top a traditional Greek salad, mouthwatering spanakopita, or combined with fresh tomato and basil atop a piping hot pizza. Complement the feta by pairing it with wines like Beaujolais, pinot noir, sauvignon blanc, and zinfandel or beers like Belgian IPA, English strong ale, or Hefeweizen.
