feta
Feta ( ; ) is a Greek brined white cheese made from sheep's milk or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. It is soft, with small or no holes, and no skin. Crumbly with a slightly grainy texture, it is formed into large blocks and aged in brine. Its flavour is tangy and salty, ranging from mild to sharp. Feta is used in salads, such as Greek salad, and in pastries, notably the filo-based Greek dishes spanakopita , and tyropita . It is often served with olive oil or olives, and sprinkled with aromatic herbs such as oregano. It can also be served cooked (often grilled), as part of a sandwich,
Scamorza
'''''' () is a southern Italian cheese made from cow's milk, or less commonly from milk of other species. It is a cheese, in which the fresh curd is left in its own whey for several hours to allow the acidity to develop as lactose converts to lactic acid. Artisanal cheese makers generally form the cheese into a round shape, then tie a string around the mass one-third of the distance from the top, before hanging it to dry, leaving the resulting cheese in a pear-like shape. This process is sometimes referred to as "strangling" the cheese.
