What is Feta Cheese?

Feta cheese, renowned for its convenience and versatility, is crafted with precision and tradition. This soft cheese is carefully cured in a salt brine solution, infusing it with its characteristic flavor. Made primarily from sheep’s milk, with the option of blending in goat’s milk, feta cheese matures over time, developing a firmer texture and a delightful balance of saltiness. As a PDO product, feta cheese proudly represents its place of origin, Greece, adhering to strict production methods and upholding the highest quality standards. Its name, “Feta,” is reserved exclusively for cheeses made within Greece’s borders.

The Origin of Islos - Epirus

Nestled in the north-western region of Greece, Epirus provides the perfect backdrop for Feta production. Unspoiled by tourism, this authentic and local destination boasts breathtaking landscapes, including majestic mountains and lush valleys. With its special climate and soil conditions, Epirus offers an ideal environment for sheep and goat grazing, resulting in milk that carries a unique aroma. This exceptional milk is a key ingredient in crafting our exquisite feta cheese.

Epirus is a haven of rich biodiversity, where the natural harmony between the land and its resources is preserved. Each bite of our feta cheese encapsulates the essence of this remarkable region, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship and the unspoiled flavours derived from the animals’ natural grazing. Our feta cheese is a true testament to the harmony between nature’s gifts and Greek artisanal expertise.
