Sheep Feta

There are thousands of different fetas out there in the world, and the endless variation of something as simple as a fresh, brined cheese is something we cheesemongers relish. This particular feta is incredibly rich and creamy, owing to the fact that sheeps’ milk is naturally very high in butterfat. The texture is dense yet smooth--not quite as crumbly as your average feta. It tastes of fruit, grass, barnyard and earth, and given the chance (and a little good olive oil), it can stand alone on a cheese plate.
