Product Description

PDO barrel feta of Vytina, from the Mandrekas cheese dairy

Crumble it over a tray of grilled peppers and courgettes, or cut it into cubes for a meze plate with Kalamata olives: with a piece of feta in the fridge, a simple dinner becomes a Greek one.

Feta PDO "Vytina Mountain Reserve" is barrel feta of Vytina, in Arcadia, made by Mandrekas, cheesemakers since 1948. It is made from pasteurised sheep's and goat's milk of Greek origin and matured in brine in wooden barrels. 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 17.9g of protein and 1.7g 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

  • Crumble it over grilled vegetables with a little olive oil
  • Cut it into cubes for a meze plate with Kalamata olives and bread
  • Cut a slab for a Greek salad with tomato, cucumber and oregano
  • Pour honey over it and scatter walnuts at the end of the meal

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.

Customer photo review of Feta Barrel Aged Vytina PDO - around 500g

Wir haben diesen Feta auf Korfu im Hotel Domes Miramare entdeckt – und er hat wirklich alle anderen Fetas in den Schatten gestellt. Wieder zuhause in Deutschland habe ich mich sofort auf die Suche gemacht. Über einen Bekannten aus der griechischen Gastronomie bin ich schließlich auf diesen Shop gestoßen – und Bingo: genau der richtige Käse! Bestellung? Super einfach. Lieferung? Mega schnell, mit top Status-Updates. Geschmack? Einfach wow – genauso wie damals auf Korfu. Besonders finde ich, dass der Feta nicht nur in Folie, sondern zusätzlich in Pergamentpapier verpackt ist. Vielleicht liegt genau darin der Unterschied, warum er so frisch und aromatisch schmeckt. Kurz gesagt: absoluter Lieblings-Feta, wir genießen ihn regelmäßig und bestellen sicher bald Nachschub! 🧀

Feta Barrel Aged Vytina PDO - around 500g

Questa feta è veramente molto buona. Giustamente sapida e non salatissima come quelle fette sottovuoto che si trovano comunemente nei supermercati!. Oltretutto rimane compatta e non si sbriciola diventantando una poltiglia!! Grazie

Feta Barrel Aged Vytina PDO - around 500g

Is original, barrel-aged feta cheese really different from the bricks you get from the supermarket? YES! This one was crumbly but not chalky at all, not as salty as expected, and slightly tangier. A really tasty cheese to crumble in your salad, or on top of pasta - or even to eat as-is!

Feta Barrel Aged Vytina PDO - around 500g

Great feta! Just a bit disappointed that some products need to be used very quickly for reasons related to transport and conservation.
