food for thought

Ever wonder what the difference between feta cheese and goat cheese is? While many people refer to feta as a goat cheese, feta actually has a higher sheep's milk content than goats' milk content. According to the regulations surrounding the official name 'feta', no more than 30% of a feta cheese's milk can come from goats; at least 70% of the milk has to be sheep's milk. If a feta cheese has more than 30% goats' milk in it, it is not, officially speaking, a feta cheese.
