What it is
This is a portion of reduced-fat feta cheese, a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece. It is known for its crumbly texture and salty, tangy flavor. This specific product is designed to offer a lighter option for those who enjoy the taste of feta but are looking to reduce their fat intake. It comes in a convenient, pre-portioned chunk, making it easy to use without needing to cut a larger block.

This reduced fat feta cheese chunk can be easily crumbled or diced into your favorite recipes. For salads, simply break it apart with your fingers and scatter it over the greens.
