Authentic Barrel-Aged Feta from Greece is very rare in the USA, and this may be the best feta in the world. Mt. Vikos Barrel Aged Feta is made in a traditional manner by a small family dairy in central Greece. The feta is molded into large round forms, which is then stacked into 120 lb barrels. The cheese ages in these wood barrels for four months allowing the cheese to become complex and rich in flavor. Made from fresh milk of free-ranging sheep and goats, this feta cheese is made during months when grasses are green for a sweet flavor. No antibiotics are given the animals. Mt. Vikos contains no preservatives, additives, or calcium chloride. Product Metrics:
