Do you like feta cheese

[debodun]

I saw it in the market and decided to try it. It was so salty, it was almost inedible and STINK! It should be called fetid cheese. I soaked it in a bowl of water overnight and that helped a little, but the whole house smelled like I had a sewer backup.

You really need to try a few different brands before forming an opinion.

I’ll eat it but I wouldn’t bother to buy it.

The older I get the less adventurous I’ve become.

There are too many wonderful foods that I shouldn’t eat to bother with anything new or new and improved.

Yeah, it's strong but really good.

Mmm... if I was still eating pizza a topping combo of tomato, feta, and bacon would be in my rotation.

I like goats milk feta cheese. I like it in Greek salad. It IS fairly salty. Some brands are saltier than others. It definitely DOES smell. It’s a smell you have to get accustomed to.

I really like it in salads also ! It reminds me a little of blue cheese , which I also like. I like most cheeses, but tried Limburger once many years ago, and just could not get past the smell. I think that it really didn’t taste all that bad, but the smell stopped me from actually tasting it less enough to be sure.

I sometimes get the block of feta cheese from Sam’s Club, but I found that it was hard for me to use the whole block before it got too old and didn’t taste good to me anymore. Usually I just get the already crumbled smaller packages now.

I can’t handle blue cheese. To me I always look at it as cheese gone bad. Lol ! And essentially that’s what it is. Like yourself, I used to get the big brick of feta cheese but I also found it went bad before I finished it. Now, I also buy the smaller pieces in a smaller amount.

I like Feta, To me, it is no way like Blue cheeses.

Feta cubes steeped in a jar of good olive oil, rosemary, lemon slices. Add good crusty bread and a bottle of wine.

ugh

With all the brands of Feta I’ve bought, I’ve never noticed an odour. Mostly I buy it from Costco, store a portion in the fridge and freeze the rest. I break off chunks when I need more for the fridge.

It’s Greek Salad season soon so I’ll be using lots. In the winter I sometimes sprinkle some crumbled feta on a tossed salad or on the top of homemade pizza.

I like feta in a Greek Salad .. also, marinated.

 

[Kadee]

Love it in a tossed green salad , it makes the salad come alive ….i don’t ever buy packaged stuff ..I buy the amount I want at the supermarket …deli department ….( only buy danish brand ) in winter I’ll also use it in my homemade silverbert ( spinach ) pasties it’s got a delicious salty / creamy taste.
Aldi and WW also have it marinated in tubs

Just adding a bit after reading Deb’s post …to me ~ feta has …not ….got a strong …smell .

Copied this …
Good quality feta should have aromas of ewe's milk, butter, and yogurt. However, if it smells acrid, overly sour, or like spoiled milk,….. it is likely spoiled.

I love the feta produced by a local goat dairy in my area . I’ve never found a grocery store feta I could tolerate.

I don't know what you said, but you said it with conviction.

^^back on topic^^ to answer @debodun's question: yes, I do like Feta cheese, I never think to buy it though.

 

[Tish]

I love it.

 

[January]

yes I like it. I dont eat it on its own though - but I like it in greek salad, things like that.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I don't know what you said, but you said it with conviction.

I mentioned that (to me) it tasted like blue cheese, and it did not go over well with some, so I deleted it.

Gorgonzola is another "strong" cheese that's good in salads.

Greens, walnuts, gorgonzola, mandarin oranges and a splash of raspberry vinaigrette dressing...to die for.

 

[Medusa]

I enjoy it in salads my husband makes for me from the salad bar at the co-op and in Salmon pinwheels.

I like feta in salads, and also added to scrambled eggs before cooking. Taste and smell are perhaps stronger than mild cheeses like Edam or Swiss, but not offensively so.
