Authentic Roussas Greek Feta Cheese


Roussas Barrel-Aged Feta is an authentic Greek PDO cheese crafted in the mountainous heart of Thessaly (Almyros, central Greece), where the Roussas family has specialized in feta since 1952. Made from high-quality sheep’s and goat’s milk, then matured in traditional wooden barrels with brine, it develops a layered profile that’s creamy yet crumbly, brightly tangy, and beautifully balanced in saltiness—a benchmark of the classic Greek style. The careful cold-room maturation allows the curd to absorb subtle barrel aromas, yielding depth and a clean, vibrant finish that has earned international recognition over the years. Serve it in a true Horiatiki (village) salad, bake into spanakopita or roasted vegetable pies, or plate as a meze with wildflower honey and toasted sesame. For wine, pair with Assyrtiko or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc; if you prefer red, choose a light, zesty Agiorgitiko to complement the cheese’s lively acidity

🧀 Roussas Barrel-Aged Greek Feta Cheese

PDO-Certified • 100% Sheep & Goat’s Milk • Bold, Creamy, and Crave-Worthy

Taste the essence of Greece in every bite. Roussas Feta is traditionally barrel-aged using time-honored methods that go back generations — yielding a tangy, rich, and deeply flavorful cheese that crumbles with character and melts with creaminess.

Crafted from 100% sheep’s and goat’s milk and produced in the heart of Thessaly, this is the real deal: PDO-certified, unprocessed, and bursting with bold Mediterranean soul.

Why Roussas is Voted the Best Feta Cheese

If you're searching for the **best feta cheese** available online, the answer lies in tradition. Many store-bought feta products are made from cow's milk and lack the PDO certification—the mark of authentic Greek origin. **Roussas Feta** stands out as an **authentic Greek feta cheese** because we adhere strictly to the **PDO (Protected Designation of Origin)** guidelines, ensuring it is made only in the designated region of Thessaly and always using a blend of **100% sheep's and goat's milk**.

The **barrel-aging process** is key to achieving its unique complexity. This method allows the cheese to develop a tangier, deeper, and more satisfyingly creamy flavor profile than standard brine-aged feta. For those seeking **traditional Greek cheese** to elevate a salad or mezze, Roussas provides the definitive, crave-worthy flavor.

Why Roussas Feta Stands Out

✔️ Authentic Greek Feta – PDO-protected and made in Greece 🇬🇷
✔️ Barrel-Aged – Deepens flavor and creates a naturally briny, complex profile
✔️ Creamy + Crumbly – Perfect texture for crumbling, mixing, or melting
✔️ No Preservatives or Fillers – Just pure milk, salt, and traditional craft

🍽️ How to Enjoy It

– Crumble over a classic Greek salad or roasted beets with herbs
– Whip into a creamy feta dip with lemon, olive oil & chili flakes
– Pair with watermelon, honey, or figs for a sweet-savory mezze
– Bake into spanakopita, savory tarts, or breakfast frittatas

🧺 From Barrel to Table — a True Taste of Greece
Whether you're elevating a simple dish or creating a Mediterranean feast, Roussas feta adds the perfect salty, tangy depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is "Barrel Aged" better?
    Aging Feta in traditional beech wood barrels for 3-4 months allows the cheese to breathe and interact with the wood. This creates a richer, creamier texture and a more complex, tangy flavor compared to feta aged in metal tins.
  • Is this authentic PDO Feta?
    Yes. It carries the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) seal, guaranteeing it is made in Greece according to strict traditional methods.
  • What kind of milk is used?
    It is made from a traditional blend of pasteurized sheep's milk (min 70%) and goat's milk (max 30%). We never use cow's milk, fillers, or additives.
  • How long does it last after opening?
    If kept submerged in its brine and refrigerated, it will stay fresh and delicious for weeks. If the brine level gets low, you can add a simple saltwater solution (1 tsp salt per cup of water).
