The Greeks have been enjoying feta as a dietary staple for centuries, and the cheese is twirled into their lore and legend. Mythological tales claim the gods sent Apollo\u2019s son Aristaios to teach Greeks the art of cheesemaking. It even garnered a mention in Homer\u2019s epic poem, The Odyssey<\/em>. \u201cWhen half of the snow-white milk curdled, he collected it, put it in the woven baskets and kept the other half in a tub to drink.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1900s, when Greeks set sail to create new communities around the world, other countries, including the US quickly adopted feta onto their tables, and cheesemakers took to learning how to recreate this tangy, salty cheese. Depending on where it is made, feta may include sheep\u2019s, goat\u2019s, or cow\u2019s milk\u2014or a mix\u2014 which results in different flavor profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greek sheep\u2019s milk feta is considered the classic, with a salty flavor and crumbly texture that\u2019s ideal for adding to salads. Check the package for the red and yellow PDO seal that confirms the product is made in Greece and guarantees the animals are fed a local diet. Mild and creamy French feta is generally made from sheep\u2019s or goat\u2019s milk and works best for spreading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, ensure you purchase feta that is stored in brine, not vacuumed packed. The brine enhances the cheese\u2019s unique flavor, keeps it fresh longer, and makes a wonderful secondary ingredient in a marinade\u2014or even in cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feta Blintzes with Strawberries, Lemon, and Honey<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The heart of strawberry season arrives in June when the deep red berries are abundant at farmers markets. The ripe sweetness of strawberries paired with salty feta creates a flavor combination that works for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Craving a blintz off-season? Simply replace strawberries with blackberries, pitted cherries, or blueberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pound Cake with Feta Caramel<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This dessert highlights the floral and tangy combination made from pairing lavender with sweet and salty feta caramel. Be sure to use goat\u2019s milk feta as it creates the smoothest and creamiest result. The caramel can also be used to top ice cream or for dipping berries. Food- grade dried lavender can be found at specialty shops and natural food stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aristaeus Martini<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Named for the Greek god of cheesemaking and olive growing, the Aristaeus cocktail shakes umami feta brine with vodka and olive oil for depth of flavor. After opening a package of feta, refrigerate brine in a mason jar. Use it to marinate poultry, add to salad dressings, or to \u201cdirty\u201d your favorite martini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It calls for Shabazi spice, which is based on the classic Yemenite hot sauce and can be used on poultry, fish, and rice; this vibrant green blend is available at large grocery stores and online. Serve the shakshuka family style with crusty bread for dipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
