This fresh, salty, crumbly Greek cheese is made from the milk of goat, sheep or, increasingly nowadays, cow. Its texture can vary from soft to firm, depending on the manufacturer, and it is usually sold in brine. Feta is probably best known for its inclusion in traditional Greek salads. Marinated feta has become popular and is now widely available.
