FAQs

What is feta cheese?

This soft cheese is typically made from sheep’s milk or a combination of sheep’s and goat’s milk. Slightly grainy in texture, this crumbly cheese is typically soaked in brine.

This gives it a distinct salty flavor. Feta cheese is a traditionally Greek cheese, often used in flaky baked goods, as a salad topping, or as a table cheese to be eaten with appetizers.

What is feta dip made of?

A feta dip typically contains, of course, feta cheese. It’s then combined with ingredients like sour cream or Greek yogurt, cream cheese, olive oil, and garlic.

Some dips also include a loaded topping. This often involves sliced cherry tomatoes, additional olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and more crumbles of feta.

How long can feta dip last in the fridge?

Your Greek Feta Dip will last for 3-4 days in the fridge, as long as it’s stored properly in an airtight container. This means you can make this yummy dip ahead of time and pull it out in a pinch when you need to serve it!

Why doesn’t feta cheese melt?

Because feta cheese has a higher acid content than most other kinds of cheeses, high heat won’t change the composition to be melty or gooey. Instead, your feta will likely burn before it begins to melt at all.

 

 

Popular Variations and Substitutions

• For additional flavor, use some lemon juice or lemon zest. This provides a delicious pop of citrus that enhances the refreshing qualities of your feta dip.
• Like a little heat with your dip? Add some red pepper flakes to give it a slight kick.
• Serve with crackers, chips, pretzels, raw veggies like celery or carrots, or with chunks of crusty bread like sourdough or a baguette.
