Located in: Cheese, Eastern Europe

Many of us are familiar with feta as the white, slightly salty cheese that is crumbled into Greek salads in 24-hour diners across America. Feta is truly a great cheese for salads, but it is also a delicious table cheese that should not be overlooked. Feta is Greek for "slice" because feta is made in very large blocks, then sliced. A saltwater brine is then poured over the pieces to arrest the ripening process. Some feta is sold in jars, tins or tubs, submersed in its brine in order to keep it young and fresh.

Tangra Bulgarian Feta is made from pure sheep's milk from free-grazing ewes in the Rhodope Mountains. The name Tangra comes from ancient Bulgarian mythology, in which a deity named Tangra protected animals and promoted agriculture. Both creamy and crumbly, and not too salty, we are sure you will find it to be one of the best fetas you have ever eaten.

Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.

Comments about Bulgarian Feta - Pound Cut:

I just love it that Bulgaria, the diamond of the socialist regime, produces a product of this quality. Just as the country's beaches were compared to the best of capitalist coats, this cheese stands in the top tier of all fetas. Tangy, rich and surprisingly smooth for a feta, the cheese has a wonderfully pervasive taste that reminds one of green pastures speckled with wild herbs.

They're right -- best feta ever

Comments about Bulgarian Feta - Pound Cut:

I used this feta the way I've used other fetas -- and was amazed by the difference in texture and flavor. Most fetas don't melt very well when you put them in pasta; this one melts without losing its character. It's creamy, both sweet and salty, and improves just about anything to which I've added it, including couscous, farro, and spinach salad.
