In an international market, the proper identification of authentic Feta PDO constitutes a key element of information and quality assurance.
Feta PDO is a product with specific production, composition, and maturation specifications, which are defined by European legislation.
The defining characteristics of Feta:
PDO certification on label
The indication "Protected Designation of Origin" and the country of production (Greece) must be clearly stated. The certification ensures that all quality standards are met.
Specific Milk Composition
Authentic Feta PDO is made exclusively from sheep milk or a mixture of sheep and goat milk. The ratio is at least 70% sheep milk and up to 30% goat milk.
Regions of production
It is produced only in designated regions of Greece, where the microclimate, vegetation, and traditional livestock farming help give Feta its unique flavour
Natural maturation process
It matures in barrels for at least two months, a process that contributes to its characteristic texture and balanced acidic profile.
Texture and flavour
· Firm but crumbly texture, with a natural white color · Appropriately salty and slightly acidi
The right choice of Feta PDO is a commitment to quality, transparency, and respect for authentic Greek production.
