SAFETY & QUALITY
The Art of Feta Making
The European Union has put in place strict regulations regarding the safety and quality of European products, aiming to protect consumers and ensure high production and consumption standards.
In this context, the production of PDO Feta cheese takes place in the frame of several quality controls. From the collection of milk, pasteurization, and cheese-making to the maturing process in wooden barrels or tin cans, strict quality controls are carried out in accordance with quality standards.
Furthermore, there are regulations on quality systems for agricultural products and foodstuffs, such as the Protected Designation of Origin.
The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) indication means that the product comes from a specific geographical area and is produced with specific production or processing methods that are traditional or specific to a limited geographical context.
Feta cheese has been registered as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and is produced exclusively in specific areas of Greece (throughout mainland Greece and the prefecture of Lesvos) from breeds of sheep and goats traditionally bred in those areas. This ensures the quality, authenticity, and tradition of PDO Feta.
