Their beauty is impressive and simply can not leave anyone indifferent. The coast of the Mediterranean Sea also adds popularity to this state. However, not only sights and views are always important for tourists, but also the traditional cuisine of the country they visit. Greece, too, turned out to be impeccable - its world-famous cuisine, which has many varied traditional dishes, can be compared with the most popular cuisines of the world, such as Italian, Japanese, etc.
The highlight of Greek cuisine is cheese. Not ordinary, but the original sheep, made only in Greece. This wonderful delicacy is called fetax cheese. Recipes that use this original product are available in great numbers. The most popular of them can be called Greek salad, the peculiarity of which is this ingredient. It is quite popular in many countries of the world.
To make Greek salad with fetax cheese, you need to take an equal amount of sweet pepper, cucumbers, tomatoes and red onions. All vegetables should be chopped into large cubes or cut into large strips, then mix them and season with olive oil, which, like fetaxa cheese, is an essential ingredient in many Greek dishes. Vegetables must be laid out on a dish, then cut into cubes of cheese and sprinkle with them a finished treat. Also, the taste of this salad can be improved with olives, which are placed on top of vegetables or mixed immediately with all the ingredients. A finished dish with cheese laid on top can be sprinkled with a small amount of wine vinegar, which will give it an unforgettable aroma and a light original flavor.
Fetax cheese is a product made on the basis of sheep’s or, in rare cases, cow’s milk. It has a granular structure and easily loses its shape, so it should not be mixed with other ingredients of the dish, it is better to simply decorate the salad on top of it, otherwise the whole cheese will be crushed and lose its original beauty. At the same time, not only the appearance, but also the palatability of the food is lost. Fetax cheese is pickled; its maturity is at least three to four months. Like all similar products, it is better to store it in brine. It should also be borne in mind that this cheese is salty, which is important when adding salt to the dish. That is, it should be sprinkled less with the expectation that due to fetax the dish will already be slightly brackish.
Fetax cheese is a Mediterranean product made only in Greece. To taste, it is not too salty, goes well with many products. It is an ingredient in many dishes of both Greek and other cuisines of the world. It is used for making all kinds of salads, desserts and pastries. An interesting fact: on the territory of the European Union only cheese that was made in Greece can be called fetaxa.
