FETA ATALANTA. BULGARIA. 32 OZ.
Feta cheese has a long history in Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia and Romania. One feta originated on the Balkan Peninsula in a region called Trakia, which is current-day southern Bulgaria. The Bulgarians call their cheese "Sirene" or simply "white cheese." Bulgarian Feta is made from pure sheep's milk from free-grazing ewes in the Rhodope Mountains. Feta is made in very large blocks and then cut into slabs. A salt water brine is poured over the pieces to arrest the ripening process and keep the cheese young and fresh. Both creamy and crumbly-and not too salty-this feta is a popular choice for cooking.
