Feta, my way!
I adore all kinds of cheeses. Creamy, hard, salty, blue, stinky..it doesn’t matter. I love them all. This recipe is just a simple, no fuss way to serve something before a meal when you’ve got some friends over or as a tapa when you’re on your own. It’s really inexpensive but fairly impressive and most importantly, it taste unreal. You can do it low budget and get cow’s milk feta or go all out and get a local sheep or goat feta when you feel like spoiling yourself or your friends. Saltspring Cheese Co. makes an amazing feta that you can get at most supermarkets. The feta in this picture is called “Macedonian Feta” and it’s available at Ottavio in Oak Bay. It’s a sheep’s milk feta that is incredibly creamy and not too briny. If you haven’t tried it yet then do it! So here is my recipe for Feta, my way.
1 block of Macedonian Feta – as much as you feel like you can eat in one go!
Handful of fresh chopped herbs – Oregano, parsley, thyme, rosemary
1 Red Chili Chopped and diced
zest of 1/2 lemon
Cracked pepper
Arrange feta on a small platter or dinner plate, sprinkle herbs, chili, lemon zest and pepper and drizzle with loads of olive oil. Serve with warm crusty bread.
I, too, am a huge cheese lover. Your feta looks awesome. Nice and simple. Definitely will try it out.
I love the colors here. And, this looks really delicious!
Thanks for the great recipe. I love feta and I am going to make this today
Hey!!!
love the recipe and the colours!!!
I m Greek
I just wanna say, I hope by “Macedonian” you mean the Northern Greek region and not our fellow Slavic neighbours…
It’s a big deal for us and it is extremely risky that the US recognises and calls this country Macedonia, when it is really not. I just take this opportunity to urge you all to get informed upon this matter and help us all here in Northern Greece, now that OUR Macedonia is in national crisis. Noone here in the government can do much about it, although anyone who can read the simplest copy of history text book can understand that the term is Greek!
Help us!
If we accept FYROM as Macedonia, we are only a few years away from their invasion in Greek Macedonia. using their official name as a way to gain Greek teritory!
To those of you who travel in Greece, you should probably know that the most beautiful part of our country is not Athens, Mykonos or Meteora…it’s Macedonia!
But the people who govern us have long figured that we will be probably taken over by FYROM and avoid letting tourists know it!
Thank you…:(
Athina. I feel your pain. Here in America we are close to loosing our freedom too. Too many people walk around asleep and don’t see or care what is happening to us. It seems to be Revolution time. But our young men are lazy and don’t care. They will see one day. If they would read History and see what our young men went through to WIN our Independence, they only need to fight to KEEP our Independence. The world has turned their backs on God. We need God back. I pray your country too.

Athina, Northern Greece is occoupied territory since 1913. It was Macedonian before you colonist came from Asia Minor in the 1920s and 30s. THIS IS FACT. Macedonia for the Macedonians. Long live Macedonian Fetta……..try frying it….it’s tasty.
Do you mix the herbs together that you mention in the recipe?
This looks beautiful!
