Feta
VegetarianCrumbly, briny Greek feta adds a sharp, tangy saltiness that brightens every bite.
Authentic Greek feta is a brined cheese made from sheep and goat milk with a crumbly texture and assertive tang. Scattered across pizza in chunks, it softens in the oven while maintaining its distinct shape, delivering bursts of salty, tangy flavor that pair well with Mediterranean vegetables and herbs.
