FARM FRESH FETA

by KYLE

I haven’t done feta on this blog before, for two reasons. First, it’s kind of an aquatic cheese, liking to sit in brine, and second, everyone knows what feta tastes like. I solved the first problem by photographing it in an appropriately humid environment.

As for the second problem, well, this feta’s a bit different. I went to the cheese shop (Harry’s at Haymarket) today, and the cheesemonger sold me on this cheese by saying “I’m not sure why this is even called feta - it tastes so different.” It does still taste like feta to me, still delicious and salty. But other than that it’s pretty different: much softer and smoother. The taste too is milder and creamier. It’s really interesting, and really nice.
