 | | Feta can be hard or soft, creamy or crisp, depending on the cheesemaker's style, the time of year it is produced and whether the milk came from animals eating clover, grains or wild grasses. |
 | | In fact, true traditional feta is not brined at all; once the cheese is set and drained, it is sprinkled with coarse salt and flipped for 24 to 48 hours, long enough for the subtle herbal undertones to blossom. |
 | | Traditionally, for aging, large triangular wedges of feta are fitted into old, reusable birchwood barrels (reuse helps foster fermentation), salted with coarse salt, and aged for a legal minimum of two months. |
