Feta in Brine – Arvaniti

Tracing its lineage to antiquity, authentic Feta is one of Greece’s most traditional cheeses. Protected under strict EU PDO regulations, true Feta is produced in designated regions of Greece from sheep’s milk, either alone or blended with goat’s milk. Arvaniti Feta is made with milk from freely grazing sheep and goats, then matured in brine to develop its characteristic flavour, texture, and freshness.

Submerged in its brine, Arvaniti Feta reveals a bright white paste with a solid yet moist texture that is easy to cut into serving portions. Its aroma is clean and full, with fresh sheep’s and goat’s milk notes and a gentle lactic tang. On the palate, it offers a pleasantly sharp acidity, balanced by creamy richness and a distinctly savoury salinity. The finish is fresh, clean, and lightly tangy, making it a versatile expression of traditional Greek Feta.

Arvaniti’s Feta PDO has received numerous distinctions over the years, including a Grand Gold Award at the Frankfurt International Trophy 2023, a Gold Award at the Global Cheese Awards 2022, and a Bronze Award at the World Cheese Awards 2025.

Crumble over a classic Greek salad with ripe tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and extra virgin olive oil; serve with grilled vegetables, roasted lamb, or warm flatbread; or add to spanakopita and savoury pastries. Its bright acidity and salinity pair beautifully with a crisp Greek white wine such as Assyrtiko, while a drizzle of honey offers a delicious sweet contrast. Store refrigerated at 4–8°C and keep the cheese covered with its original brine after opening.
