The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

Light-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Our whole family hated it. We immediately pushed our plates away and grabbed the peanut butter and jelly. Had I just served the fish without the sauce we would have been okay. The sauce made with the Greek yogurt and olives was terrible to us. Maybe we just aren't fans of Greek food.
