    πŸ“• What is Feta Cheese?

    Feta is a white firm grainy fresh cheese produced from sheep and goat milk.

    Feta is common in Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and in the Balkans.

    White cheese that has been made from cows milk can't be called Feta and in fact similar cow milk white cheese variations are also common under different names in the Mediterranean area.

    Feta cheese might sound exotic to some of us, but it has attracted lots of attention in Europe and that's mostly due to the introduction of the classic Greek Salad Recipe in the last decades.

    ❔ What are Kalamata Olives?

    Kalamata Olives are superior quality olives.

    I call them the ultimate olives and when I think of olives, that's what I mean.

    Kalamata Olives are called like that because they are native to Kalamata, which is a city in South Greece.

    The Kalamata olive is smooth on the outside, large and has a lot of fruit flesh on it.

    Try to get whole Kalamata olives with the seed still attached.

    Those are not mushy and perfect for this greek salad
