Product Description

PDO barrel feta from Paramythia, in Epirus

Put cubes of feta, a bowl of olives and warm bread on the table, and dinner with friends starts with a meze, as in a Greek taverna. Everyone takes a piece with the fork, and the plate goes round the table.

Feta PDO "Epirus Heritage" is made by B.A. Papadopoulos in Paramythia, in Epirus, from pasteurised sheep's and goat's milk from the area. The label says it is matured in a wooden barrel. It arrives as a vacuum-sealed piece of about 500g: each piece weighs a little differently, and the exact weight is printed on its label.

The piece is white and compact: it cuts into a clean slab and turns creamy when you crumble it, with a salty, tangy taste. Per 100g the label declares 18g of protein and 1.2g of salt. If you find it too salty, soak the slice in cold water for a few minutes before serving. Once the pack is open, keep it under brine and cut only what you need.

How to use it

  • Cut it into cubes for a meze plate with olives and bread
  • Cut a slab for a Greek salad with tomato, cucumber and oregano
  • Wrap it in foil with olive oil, chilli and tomato and bake it (feta psiti)
  • Crumble it into spanakopita or over grilled vegetables

Taste it next to four other PDO barrel fetas in the Grand Tour of PDO Feta.

Useful Information

Storage guide: keeping barrel feta once it is opened.

Vacuum-sealed, the feta keeps in the fridge until the date on the pack. Once opened it dries out in the air, so it goes back into brine.

How to store it correctly:

  • Closed pack: in the fridge at +2 to +4°C.
  • After opening: in a glass or ceramic jar, fully covered with brine, lid closed.
  • Serving: take it out of the fridge 15 minutes before serving.

Freshness timeline:

  • Unopened: until the best-before date printed on the pack, kept at +2 to +4°C.
  • Opened, under brine: keep the piece fully covered and the jar closed; take out what you need with a clean fork.

Troppo salato

Pietro A. 1/5 Verified

Barrel Aged PDO feta Epirus - from 300g to 400g

Store owner replied: Buongiorno Pietro, la feta è per sua natura un formaggio mediamente con il gusto salato. Per questo motivo qui in Grecia lo amiamo abbinare con gusti abbastanza neutri da quel punto di vista come ad esempio le verdure fresche croccanti nell'insalata greca. Ottima anche al forno con verdure e altri abbinamenti, quando cotta perde un po' del suo naturale sapore salato. Greek Flavours Team
