I went to Trader Joe's a few days ago, and looked for something I usually get there, though I didn't need it - Trader Joe's Authentic Greek Feta, in brine . They didn't have any, but had something I hadn't seen before (maybe replacing the other?) - Trader Joe's Israeli Feta, in brine. The Greek has some goat's milk cheese with the sheep's milk as the first ingredient, but the Israeli version has only sheep's milk, so I'm thinking that it may be a little stronger, but I haven't opened it - I want to use the other feta I have first. Has anyone else used this before, and what's your opinion of it?
My favorite feta I have ever tried was a French feta, that I would get whenever I would go to Claudio's in the Italian market. They had 3 types there, and one time, many years ago, the cheese monger told me they "just got this in", and he knew that I liked feta, so he had me same the other two types, and finally. the French. That flavor was fantastic, with a strong buttery flavor - they must use some cow's milk, along with the sheep's milk. This gives an incredible flavor to it. I haven't found it elsewhere, even at the cheese sections at Whole Foods and Wegman's.
