Karen – Athenos was the first one I ever tried! Nothing to compare to.

I love feta, but Athenos is one of the worst I have tried. I usually buy cheaper and better feta in bulk from a local middle eastern grocery store. Even in my small midwestern city, there are several international groceries/delis catering to Muslim immigrants which carry it. Also a great source for fresh pita, olives, and other interesting foods.

Hi M! I didn’t know REAL feta was made out of Sheep’s milk! Is there a difference in texture?

I don’t like cow’s milk feta like Athenos….

I prefer the REAL feta which is sheep’s milk and also sometimes a nice goat milk feta-try ‘em SO tastier and better in my mind!

I’m so excited you’re doing special ideas involving feta. I love it!!! I just discovered it about a year ago and have it any chance I can. Unfortunately I’m the only one in the house who does like it…well I guess that doesn’t have to be unfortunate! ;-)

I know you aren’t big on cheese and eggs, but maybe since feta has such a different texture and its a nice salty bite. Maybe added to a veggie omelet? I love Feta on everything mmm!

I love pasta with pesto and a bit of feta on it – a great combination!

I buy Athenos all the time – their feta is great and I am so looking forward to your ideas!

I love feta and I’m excited to see all your ideas. I toss beets (roasted or buy them pre-steamed in the produce section) with fresh herb vinaigrette, then top with feta. So good.

I LOVE feta, especially since it has such a strong flavour you need less of it.
Shrimp, Tomatoes and Feta go really well together in a bake with or without pasta and bonus it all cooks really fast.

I look forward to your new feta recipes. Wow looking at my blog I use feta a ton, crazy.

I love feta. I buy it buy the block. I cut it into 1/4 inch slices and bread it like a cutlet then fry it. So Good on top of spinach and mixed green salad, in a crusty piece of bread w/ sundied tomatoes & pitted calamata olives!

I LOVE feta cheese. I have to have it in my fridge at all times. My favorite way to use it is on salads. I take some nice organic greens, top them with sunflower seeds, tomatoes, onion, dried cherries, croutons, chicken breast, and feta. Top that with some light honey mustard dressing, and it is to die for! Yum!!!!!!

I LOVE feta cheese. I put it on everything – pasta, pizzas, salads. If I’m at a restaurant and the dish has feta, there is a good chance I’m ordering it. Lucky you that you get to be a spokesperson!!!!

I also make a couscous salad with whole wheat couscous, feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, artichoke hearts and I use a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil for the dressing. It is super yummy and can jazz up any protein (i like it best with shrimp or chicken). Feta is probably one of my favorite cheeses because its a bit tangy and creamy. It is great for any salad.

I’ve always wanted to grill feta but I’m not very good at grilling but maybe this summer!

Roast up some of those veggies that you’ve been getting from your CSA. Then chop them into bite size pieces and mixed with some crumbled feta and red wine vingegar. Good just like that or in a wrap! You’ll be amazed at how many veggies you can eat in this format. :-)
