Tips & Techniques:

Did You Know?

Tangy feta cheese is Greek in origin and is traditionally made from sheep or goat milk. Sometimes referred to as pickled cheese, feta is cured and stored in its own salty whey brine.

Substitution

Make it even more authentic by replacing the regular ripe olives with kalamata olives.
