Israeli Feta

"We've long considered feta cheese to be practically synonymous with Mediterranean cuisine. In fact, we can hardly conceive of a Mediterranean meal without it. Can you even imagine a crispy spanakopita sans creamy feta? Wouldn't falafel feel awfully lonely without a few feta crumbles? Wouldn't a feta-less Greek salad be reduced to a salad without a country? Luckily, we don't have to deal in such alarming hypotheticals, because we've got Trader Joe's Israeli Feta at the ready. Since feta has such a long and storied history (records show that feta and feta-like cheeses have been eaten in the Mediterranean region for thousands of years, and even garnered a mention in Homer's Odyssey), we knew we needed a supplier who would respect that history. That's why we reached out to a 4th generation cheesemaker in Israel, whose family has been in the dairy business for over a century. Their feta speaks for itself: creamy, crumbly, and toothsome, with a wonderfully soft texture and a mild, tart tang - exactly how a feta ought to be. While we recommend using this Israeli Feta in all the ways you normally would for a delicious Mediterranean fetas, we also strongly encourage you to enjoy it as a table cheese, part of a cheese plate or roasted... A feta of this quality, with its subtle acidity and fine brininess, deserves to be savored, especially with a glass of crisp or off-dry white wine."
