It is brine-aged and fashioned into enormous blocks. It has a salty, tangy flavor that can be mild to strong. It is crumbly and has a slightly grippy feel. It is typically accompanied by olive oil, olives, and flavorful herbs like oregano. Many people refer to a white, crumbly cheese that has been brine-cured as "feta."Health-conscious people who are aware of the benefits of the product frequently consume feta cheese. It contains a fatty acid that helps with body weight regulation and has many other health advantages. It also has the potential to reduce diabetes risks since feta cheese contains calcium and protein, both of which help the body regulate blood sugar levels.

Feta Cheese Market Drivers and Restraints:

Traditionally, whole sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk is used to make feta. Although pasteurized milk is currently used by the majority of manufacturers, it may or may not be used. If pasteurized milk is utilized, a beginning culture of microorganisms is added to replace those that were in raw milk before pasteurization but were lost during the process. These bacteria are required for the emergence of acidity and taste. After the pasteurized milk has cooled to about 35 °C and the casein has been given time to coagulate, rennet is added. The whey is then drained from the curds by breaking them up and putting them in a special mold or cloth bag. The curd is firm enough to break apart and salt after being infused in metal cans or wooden barrels for a few of days; the salinity will eventually reach around 3%.
