What is goat feta?

Goat feta is a type of cheese that is made of goat's milk. Feta cheese is very popular in the Eastern Mediterranean, especially in Greece where it was created. The term feta cheese is a designation of a product of protected origin. This means that under the law of the European Union (EU), the cheese sold within its borders can only be called feta cheese only if it is made according to certain parameters in some areas of Greece. Feta cheese is made of sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. The maximum permissible amount of goat's milk in the FETA cheese, according to the EU law, is 30%, which means that goat feta cannot in fact be called such on the EU borders.

known for its distinctive taste, feta cheese, is salty than many other cheeses, while the salt content sometimes approaching 5%, compared to 1%-3%for many other cheeses. Goat Feta takes over the characteristic tastes of goat's milk used to produce it and can have a strong, sharp taste that is more robust than other types of feta. Like other types of FETA cheeses, goat feta can be used in many ways. Its compressed texture of cottage cheese is especially suitable for crumbling through salads, pasta and pizza. It is an important component in a number of Greek dishes and other areas of the surrounding areas.

There are many cheeses today that have previously been sold as a feta in Europe, called other names. Some names are proprietary and some are general, such as "Greek type cheese". In other parts of the world, these cheeses are often sold as a feta, including some goat feta. Of course, the little cheesemakers in Greece and the surrounding regions who make a goat for their own use rather than for sale are most likely to call cheese feta, regardless of the EU law.
