Our Pick: Dodoni feta.
DODONI feta has remained the top choice of Greeks for over six decades, thanks to its unparalleled quality and rich, tangy taste. Made from the milk of sheep and goats that live on the lush meadows across selected regions of Greece, DODONI feta is crafted using time-honoured techniques that have been passed down over generations. And with thousands of producers across many, many villages involved in collecting the fresh milk daily, it’s an honour to continue these methods of producing DODONI cheese, bringing the authentic taste of the Mediterranean to your table.
