It cannot be considered authentic Feta if it doesn’t come from Greece as it is protected legally and made in a specific manner using a ratio of sheep’s milk and goat’s milk and depending on the region sometimes only sheep’s milk. Feta cheese making goes back to antiquity in Greece and is produced in specific areas of that country. It’s amusing that in places like the United States “ Greek style” yogurt is sold and yet it’s produced entirely differently and with different milk altogether. If you’re ever in Athens, try Stani yogurt. It’s the last dairy serving shop in the city. You’ll be glad you did.
salt content of the cheese is dependent on the brand producing said item, it has nothing to do with it being danish vs greek. In Australia a lot of greek feta is saltier than the "danish" feta we get. Danish feta is milder and creemier in taste and texture. it is NOT just tasting of salt. Its more of a hybrid btw cream cheese and feta. VS greek feta is very dry and crumbly and very strong - its hard to eat it on its own. So its a personal preference as to what people like
do you think the tier list is fair? some cheeses are popular in certain regions. Shanklish cheese is gross for many but it is addictive and yummy for levant region.
Do you happen to know of any resources on the history of cheesemaking and the Mennonite communities? As a Mennonite historian, I would be interested to know what you find!
Woot!!! Another Cheese-off! 😁 I have to say I had no idea Danish Feta was a thing, I'd always assumed it was Greek. Although I'm now wondering if the supermarket Feta I've had in the UK is actually Danish rather than Greek 🤔
It would depend on whether the UK still follows the pdo rules post-brexit, which they might as it protects some of their cheeses too. Otherwise, Danish feta is called white cheese where the EU pdo is in force.
@@cheesehistory I'm pretty sure the UK is following them still yeah. "All product names protected in the EU on 31 December 2020 following successful applications to the EU GI schemes are protected under the UK and EU GI schemes"
Excellent video with great cheese information. I agree, there's no point eating a cheese if all you can taste is salt. Soaking the Danish cheese might make it more edible perhaps?😊
I top my steaks with Greek feta. If I can’t find that then I will get a blue cheese. Didn’t know there was danish feta. But from the sound of it they wasn’t missing anything
Shopping update. All feta in my local supermarket is Greek (UK, South East England).

So intelligent and so precise.
I actually had bad hiccups before watching this and they went away upon viewing this. Thanks!
So informative 🎉
Ever tried Greek or Danish feta? What did you think of them?
As a Greek person, do I go on a rant about Danish """feta"""? (I'm joking)
Ive had both, but I love Danish, more taste.
I love Danish white better, more tasty and softer with the soft sour flavor and it's more spreadable.

Never had Danish feta didn't know it was a thing.
I'll look out in future.
Great video as always
Got it. I follow you. Fantastic content.

Danish feta is more creamy, I prefer it.
But Greek is good too.
I’ve had over salted Greek feta before and it was inedible. Threw it in the bin.
It would be cool if you put all the cheeses you’ve ranked into one giant tier list.
That's a great idea
thanks for the cheese-fix 🙂
Happy to help 😁

Greek feta is so good! It's cool to see the differences between them 😆
Would you recommend that cheeses be eaten at room temperature , and does temperature have an effect on taste?
Yes, being at room temperature improves the flavour of cheese. Thanks for watching 😁

Northern European with that genetic disposition. Smart. Cheese saved us during bad times
If you have cheese, you’ll survive anything
Adding to dictionary: 'goatyness'
🤣🤣🤣
Danish feta
Danish is white cheese not feta
