In Greece the average per capita consumption of Feta is more than\u00a0<\/span>10 kilograms a year, a unique quantity for any other cheese in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feta is recognised by the European Union as a traditional Greek product of <\/span>Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

P.D.O. stands for \u2018Protected Designation of Origin\u2019 and only applies to products which comply with EU Regulation No 1151\/2012. Every P.D.O. product must\u00a0<\/span>display the EU quality logo for P.D.O.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feta is prepared and matured exclusively in a legally defined geographical area\u00a0<\/span>consisting of Thrace, Macedonia, Epirus, Thessaly, Sterea Hellas, Peloponnese and the Prefecture of Lesvos. <\/span><\/p>\n

The main ingredients are fresh sheep\u2019s milk or mixtures of sheep and goats milk with a proportion of up to 30 % of goat\u2019s milk. <\/span><\/p>\n

Feta is produced from breeds of animals traditionally grown and fed in the above area and whose diet is based on its\u00a0<\/span>natural flora.<\/span><\/p>\n
