Most notable is its use in the popular phyllo-based dishes spanakopita ("spinach pie") and tyropita ("cheese pie"), or served with some olive oil or olives and sprinkled with aromatic herbs such as oregano. It can also be served cooked or grilled, as part of a sandwich, in omelets, or as a salty alternative to other cheeses in a variety of dishes.
Since 2002, feta has been a protected designation of origin product in the European Union. According to the relevant EU legislation, only those cheeses produced in a traditional way in particular areas of Greece, which are made from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and up to 30% of goat milk from the same area, can be called feta.
Like other dairy products, feta has significant amounts of vitamins A, B6, B12, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and folate, as well as calcium, zinc, and phosphorus. Like other cheeses, feta may contain beneficial probiotics.
Feta is lower in fat and calories than aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Cheddar weight-for-weight because it has higher water content.
