You have probably wondered in the supermarket:what is the difference between feta and white cheese? We explain.

Feta or white cheese?

Due to European regulations, a cheese may only be called feta if the cheese is produced in Greece and made from a minimum of 70% sheep's milk and a maximum of 30% goat's milk. Producers who make similar cheese from cow's milk therefore give it a different name, such as white cheese or Mediterranean cheese cubes.
