 The natural bounty of Greece has nourished entire civilizations throughout the ages. Include Allison Hooper and Bob Reese among those inspired by the country’s culinary tradition. At a cheese conference in Greece, the Vermont Butter & Cheese cofounders experienced the distinctive sheep and goats’ milk feta cheese that graces the best Mediterranean cuisine. Unlike the feta typically available to consumers Stateside, authentic Greek feta is soft and easy to slice, and most often served in large slices on a fresh salad with olives.
Vermont Feta is crafted in the Greek style – soft, fresh, and flavorful. By reducing the salt content of the brine, the fresh goats’ milk flavor is enhanced, adding a touch of innovation to a time-honored recipe.
