Publix Reduce Fat Feta
What it is
This is a reduced-fat version of traditional feta cheese. Feta is a brined curd white cheese made from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. It originates from Greece. This particular product offers a similar salty, tangy flavor profile to regular feta but with a lower fat content. It is typically sold in a block or crumbles.
How people cook with it
Reduced-fat feta is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, both hot and cold.
- Salads
- Pasta dishes
- Omelets
- Dips
Crumble this reduced-fat feta over salads for a salty bite. It melts well, making it suitable for topping baked dishes like pasta or casseroles. You can also incorporate it into omelets or frittatas for added flavor. For a quick appetizer, mix it with herbs and a touch of olive oil to serve with bread or crackers. Its crumbly texture makes it easy to sprinkle evenly over any dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to full-fat feta, this version has a slightly less creamy texture due to the reduced fat. The flavor is still distinctly tangy and salty, but may be perceived as a bit milder by some. It maintains the characteristic crumbly nature of feta.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a lighter option for their favorite feta-based recipes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining reduced-fat feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to keep it submerged in a small amount of brine or water to maintain its moisture and prevent it from drying out. Consume within a few days for optimal freshness.
