Salad of tomato and cucumber with arugula and feta The main emphasis of this salad is Feta cheese, which has a special crumbling structure with a strong salty taste. Traditionally, feta is made from sheep or goat's milk, but in European importing countries it is made mainly of cow's milk, which is much cheaper. In translation feta sounds like a "piece", it is these large pieces that make this cheese. Feta is an indispensable ingredient in Greek salad. Thanks to its saltiness, it complements the fresh taste of herbs: it is seasoned with oregano, rosemary, mint. Fetu is served with seafood, fish and meat. It also prepares the filling for pies. Recently, Greece won the exclusive right to use the term "feta", so now only the cheese that is given by sheep grazing on the slopes of the Peloponnese can be called a fetu. Like this!
