Fun Fact about Feta Cheese

Who doesn't love Feta? A cheese that must be produced in Greece with a name like "feta." "Feta" is a legal designation, like Champagne or Roquefort. Understandably, the term feta is coined from an ancient Greek word, meaning "slice." Feta cheese can be formed from either goat or sheep's milk, but most cheese lovers will say it is best made with sheep's milk. Feta is cured at least three months in brine, according to Greek law.

Did you know that feta is one of the world's oldest cheeses or that it is composed of at least 25 percent fat, of which about two-thirds is saturated fat? But, did you know that there are benefits of feta cheese? Feta is high in calcium and vitamin B12. Think about this: a 1.25 oz cube of feta cheese has about 100 calories.
