Copy-pasted from Woolies, does an extra T mean anything?
does an extra T mean anything
Doubt it…
I reckon that's how they are getting around the feta naming rights.
Double "T"…. tricky.
I knew those Camerons were up to something
Totally agree
Danish Fetta Cheese
Since 2002, feta has been a protected designation of origin product in the European Union. According to the relevant EU legislation, only those cheeses produced in a traditional way in particular areas of Greece, which are made from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep's and up to 30% of goat's milk from the same area, can be called feta
you should report it for incorrect title then
It has an extra t so it's exempt (?)
When did we join the European Union?
We’re currently negotiating a new free trade agreement with the EU.
Geographical naming of cheese and wine will be a requirement of that being finalised. Bureaucrats are debating it as we speak.
Got it, so we haven't.
Australia is negotiating a free trade agreement with the EU. Possibly one of the conditions would be to abide by these naming rules
Good luck with that. The EU bureaucrats will use it as an opportunity for a lot of long lunches, ours will use it as an opportunity to indulge their love of Paris, a piece of paper will eventually, in the fullness of time, be signed, and then business will discover it hasn’t changed anything important, and anything else is too Byzantine to bother with.
Meantime, DFAT is pointedly not negotiating an FTA with those nasty brexiteers, who actually might really be interested in a real FTA deal. Or at least allow Australian citizens to have the same priority as the bloody French at immigration.
Our Woolies hasn't had Danish feta for like 6 months the deli guy told me. :(
Ours has had the same 3 pieces for the last 6 months.
Should've bought it while it was still fresh.
It'll probably more like Greek feta now!
IGA has the best value Danish Feta I've found. Most stores seem to sell the same brand by weight, prepackaged ~500g blocks for $10/kg and it's great.
500g is way too much for me… it would go off before I finished it
I'm more of a crumbly Feta man
Drakes often has cheap Danish fetta, often down to between 5.50 and 7.49 on sale. Worth a look if you have one nearby
Danish Feta is not a good feta. Its cheap and nasty.
Take it from somebody that knows FetaBulgarian Feta is the best.
Not surprisingly Greece imports tons of Bulgarian FetaMade from cows milk, not sheep or goat milk like it should be.
$6.95 a kilo normal price at a lot of Middle Eastern grocery shops in VIC Northern suburbs.
Persian Feta from Aldi is absolutely the best.
Never tried that, thanks for the tip.
No such thing.
There's only one Feta… and that's Greek. It has a particular taste and other white cheeses simply aren't feta!
I think I must have been Greek in a former life, because I inhale this stuff… and am very disappointed when provided a plate of white cheese and some moron calls it "feta". I almost spit it out. Almost ;).
Edited: Just noticed its double T "fetta". Clever. One is Feta, the other is Fetta. That's not confusing at all ;).
this is feta and it taste like feta. deal with it!
Shows how much you know.
There's a massive difference in taste between the different types of "feta" available. Greek feta has a very particular/salty taste that the others (especially Danish Feta) don't come close to.
There's a massive difference in taste between different cheddars - doesn't mean they aren't all cheddar!
That's not to say one isn't better than the other obviously. The best cheese of any variety I've ever had was feta made that day from the next door organic farm in Corfu.
@callum9999: And that's where the confusion lies.
Feta = Greek White Cheese (very particular taste).
White Cheese = All the other "feta style" white cheeses on the market that 'look' like feta (Danish etc)
The word "feta" is used incorrectly to describe white cheeses that are not made in Greece.
The word is Greek for goodness sake!
Made from completely different milk. They are different.
Turkish Feta is the best Feta.
Greek feta is much different from all the other "rubbish".
Today in my table I had 2 different varieties of greek feta.
I can not imagine to had Danish or Turkish etc feta.
I just arrived back home after 2 months in Scandinavia.
Danish feta..hahahaha
They have other good products but not fet(t)a.
Totally 5 months I was traveling around Europe.
oh my God what they sell under the name Feta and Olive oil.
Feta it is not feta. but olive oil… never buy this olive oil.
We use Olive oil to make the food better.
With those products the food is losing si much in taste.
Do not leave them to fool you.My Greek mum swears by Bulgarian Feta. My Greek relative swears by this Danish stuff (cow's milk). It comes down to personal preference, they are all real cheeses. At least this thread informed me about other countries making their version of Feta, even though it isn't from Greece.
Personally, I love cheese in general.
A little off topic, does anyone know where to get Manchego cheese and how much it costs? In the states, Costco carries it and it is much cheaper than anywhere else. It's made from sheep's milk but is completely different to Feta.
One option is to use the cheaper stuff in tiropitas (Greek cheese pies) and the genuine Greek cheese for the table or in salads.
Good price, but it's not really Feta…
