♥️Jack and his experience
I bought Turkish Feta once, it was excellent and I am big fan of anything Greek.
Once you eat real, proper feta, the popcorn ceiling material that other brands sell will never be in your fridge again.
What about brine or no brine? I find the brine keeps longer, but I didn't know if there was implications to that to flavor or any other considerations.
In Canada we have Salerno feta cheese made with goat milk. Its the best.
“What are we gonna do? We’re gonna respect tradition” 😂
Which feta is NOT sharp? I want the mild and creamy kind. TIA. 🙂
Yes, buy the real deal. It’s Bulgarian… (yes, you heard me, you Greeks are just southern Bulgarian 🤣)
If Jack says buy in blocks…I'm gonna buy in blocks from now on. Nuff said🤓
I usually buy Bulgarian. It's a little more forward than the Greek or French.
I found some Feta in the dumpster along while back and it was delicious!
I always love learning from Jack Bishop, it sure makes a difference in my meals.
I always get French Feta from my local import store, I heard it's saltier
Happy holidays to you and yours
😊💫
Excellent Video!
These cheese brands are very average. Buy Bulgarian cheese.
Excellent video !!! 👍
Whey betta fetta von Europa!
Yes! Thank you and greetings from Europe.
Love videos like this that are short and to the point! More Jack Bishop!
I married a Greek, so yes real feta is so much better, and there is more than just green and black olives, get an education on them from a Greek and you will be happy.
Fun fact: if the ingredients says "milk", that's cow's milk. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷
Not in Greece they do in country Turkey just surcharge and find out
And get some mortadella to go with it.
So what’s the best feta in the supermarket!?!
Maybe I haven't had good "Greek" feta… I usually stick with the bulgarian option.
And NOWHERE are we told how/where to ontain this 'holy grail' of Feta? Interesting.
As a Greek I can confirm testing feta abroad it didn't taste the same. Best brand in Greece is one called Feta Valmas, i don't know if exports but if it does get the feta aged in in a wooden berol.
Opinions/preferences
Are like
Limburger cheese.
They all stink
Aaah forget tradition. Let's just burn it all down!!!. I'm Karen, I have purple hair, weigh 450lbs have hairy legs and armpits and I am not going to bow to this toxic masculine overlord.
Good luck finding a block of feta cheese after that pasta recipe went viral 😂
Lots of Feta is FAKE= EVEN BOARS HEAD IS FAKE FETA. IT MUST BE MADE WITH SHEEP MILK OR GOAT MILK
Imagine buying Greek-made bourbon. The thought is heresy. So US-made Feta is equally a no-no. I find in my local supermarket imitation Feta is called "Greek-style salad cheese", which at least shows a sense of shame.
Amen, brother! Also, it's pronounced "A-thee-NOS" (meaning, "of/from Athens") and it's probably entirely American. I concur … in a pinch, it will do. Dodonis (meaning "of/from Dodoni", the one he pointed to) is indeed leaps and bounds better as it's imported from Greece.
sheep's milk in a block!!!
Thanks Jack! Always look forward to your quick, informative videos!
This is a fave cheese of mine thanks for sharing it.😘😊
Off to Cyprus next week to have the real thing.. 🧀
