Feta cheese is ....

Feta cheese is a rich and creamy soft cheese of Greece, authentically made of whole sheep's milk, although many are now made with goat's milk or a mixture of the two. 
Feta cheese is classified as a soft cheese made of 45 to 60 percent fat whole sheep's or goat's milk. The better fetas are aged (but not ripened) 4 to 6 weeks, cured in a salty whey and brine. Known as a pickled cheese, the flavor of feta becomes sharper and saltier with age. It is creamy white in color with small holes, a crumbly texture, and is normally found in square cakes with no rind.
