Melis Feta Greek Cheese 200g
Description
Taste the Mediterranean tradition with Melis Feta Greek Cheese. This authentic white brined cheese is crafted from a precise blend of sheep and goat's milk, resulting in the iconic crumbly texture and sharp, tangy profile that defines true Feta. Unlike "Salad Cheese," this product follows traditional methods to ensure a robust saltiness and a creamy finish that holds up beautifully in both cold and cooked dishes.
Culinary Versatility
Melis Feta is the gold standard for fresh, vibrant summer cooking. It is the essential heart of a traditional Greek Salad (Horiatiki), where it can be served in a large slab or crumbled over vine-ripened tomatoes and olives. For a warm application, try it in Spanakopita (spinach pie) or baked with cherry tomatoes and chili flakes for a trendy pasta sauce. Its high acidity makes it a perfect counterpoint to sweet ingredients like watermelon or a drizzle of honey and sesame seeds.
Pro-Tip: If the Feta tastes too salty for your palate, soak the block in a bowl of fresh milk or cold water for 30 minutes before using. This "leaches" out the excess brine, resulting in a much milder and creamier flavor profile while preserving the crumbly texture.
Nutritional Benefits
A 100g serving provides approximately 260-280kcal. It is a nutrient-dense source of Protein and Calcium, but also contains Vitamin B12 and Riboflavin. Because it is primarily made from sheep and goat's milk, it is often easier to digest for those with sensitivities to cow's milk. Additionally, Feta contains probiotic bacteria that support immune and digestive health, making it a functional addition to a balanced diet.
Storage & Care
Keep refrigerated at all times. Feta is a "wet" cheese and stays fresh longest when kept in its original brine. Once opened, if you've discarded the brine, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of salt. Store the block in this liquid within an airtight container to prevent it from drying out or becoming overly sour. It is best consumed within 5-7 days of opening.
