This is cheese made the way it's been made in Thessaly for generations — from a blend of sheep's and goat's milk, aged in traditional beech wood barrels, and protected by Greek law from the kind of shortcuts that produce the bland, rubbery product most Americans have accepted as normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PDO designation — Protected Designation of Origin — isn't a marketing claim. It's a legal guarantee enforced by the European Union, requiring that authentic feta be produced in specific regions of Greece using specific milk ratios and traditional methods. Roussas meets every requirement, and then some. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/recipes-pairings\/innovative-feta-cheese-recipes-for-gourmet-home-cooks\"\u003eSee what this feta can do in the hands of a serious home cook →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrefer 100% sheep's milk, certified organic?\u003c\/strong\u003e The same Almyros dairy also makes \u003ca href=\"\/products\/roussas-organic-feta-pdo-200g\"\u003eRoussas Organic Feta PDO\u003c\/a\u003e — creamier, milder, and USDA\/DIO certified organic.

Barrel aging in beech wood takes 3–4 months and allows the cheese to breathe, developing a tangier, creamier, more layered flavor that you can't replicate with shortcuts. The result is a feta that crumbles with character, melts with richness, and holds its own against bold ingredients without disappearing into them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrumble it over a proper Greek salad with our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kalamata-olives-in-extra-virgin-olive-oil-pitted-liquid-free\"\u003eKalamata olives\u003c\/a\u003e and a drizzle of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sparta-gourmet-organic-extra-virgin-olive-oil-500ml\"\u003eSparta Gourmet EVOO\u003c\/a\u003e.

No cow's milk. No fillers. No preservatives. Just milk, salt, and time. Keep it submerged in its brine after opening and it will stay fresh for weeks in the refrigerator. If the brine runs low, a simple saltwater solution (1 tsp salt per cup of water) will extend it further. Ships fresh to all 50 states.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roussas S.A.","offers":[{"title":"Single 7oz","offer_id":42120874098743,"sku":"AO-ROUSSASFETA-1X7oz","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-Pack (7oz Each)","offer_id":42147857498167,"sku":"AO-ROUSSASFETA-2X7oz","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/6469\/6887\/files\/ROUSSAS_FETA_200gr.jpg?v=1765618637","url":"https:\/\/www.alphaomegaimport.shop\/products\/greek-feta-cheese-authentic-pdo-certified-barrel-aged","provider":"Alpha Omega Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
