Authentic Feta PDO

Feta PDO is a symbol of tradition, cultural heritage, and culinary authenticity with centuries of history. The PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) label constitutes a seal of quality and authenticity that protects the product and ensures that every bite of Feta PDO is a reflection of the Greek land and the traditional methods of production.

What the PDO label entails for Feta:

Origin

It is produced exclusively in specific regions of Greece; the Peloponnese, Central Greece, Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia, Thrace, and the prefecture of Lesvos.

Raw materials

It is made exclusively from sheep milk or a mixture of sheep and goat milk, in a ratio of at least 70% sheep milk and up to 30% goat milk.
The milk used comes from breeds of sheep and goats traditionally reared in the particular regions, grazing on the local flora.

Production Proces

Feta contains a minimum of 43% fat in dry matter and a maximum moisture content of 55%.
No milk powder or milk protein, milk concentrate, caseinates, coloring agents, or preservatives are allowed to be added to the milk used for cheese-making.

Maturation

Feta is aged exclusively in wooden barrels or tin containers for at least two months. This process enhances its flavour and helps preserve it.
