What it is
This is a package of crumbled feta cheese made in a Greek style. Feta cheese is a brined curd white cheese made from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. The Greek style often means it has a tangier, saltier profile. The crumbles offer convenience for immediate use in dishes. It is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and is enjoyed for its distinct flavor.
