Authentic Greek PDO Feta Cheese | Barrel Aged, (4.4 lbs)

🧀 Roussas Barrel-Aged Greek Feta Cheese — Bulk 4.4 lb Size

PDO-Certified • 100% Sheep & Goat's Milk • Best Value for Families & Entertaining

For serious feta lovers, home cooks who go through feta fast, and anyone who refuses to run out mid-recipe — the 4.4 lb bulk size is the smart choice. Same legendary Roussas quality, same PDO-certified barrel-aged character, twice the feta.

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 — now in a generous bulk format that delivers the best price per ounce we offer.

Why the 4.4 lb Size?

The 4.4 lb format is ideal for:

• Families — always have authentic feta on hand for weeknight salads, eggs, and mezze
• Meal preppers — batch-crumble and store in brine for the week ahead
• Entertainers — enough for a full Greek spread, charcuterie board, or party mezze table
• Restaurant & catering use — premium PDO feta at the best value per ounce
• Feta enthusiasts — because the 2.2 lb is never enough

Why Roussas is the Best Feta Cheese

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. Aged in traditional beech wood barrels for 3–4 months, the cheese develops a tangier, deeper, and more satisfyingly creamy flavor profile than standard brine-aged feta.

✅ Why Roussas Feta Stands Out

✔️ Authentic Greek Feta – PDO-protected and made in Greece 🇬🇷
✔️ Barrel-Aged in Beech Wood – 3–4 months for a richer, more complex flavor
✔️ Creamy + Crumbly – Perfect texture for crumbling, mixing, or melting
✔️ No Preservatives or Fillers – Just pure milk, salt, and traditional craft
✔️ Best Value Per Ounce – Our largest retail size for maximum savings

🍽️ How to Enjoy the 4.4 lb Size

– Crumble generously over a large Greek salad or roasted beet platter
– Whip into a big batch of creamy feta dip with lemon, olive oil & chili flakes
– Build a full mezze spread: pair with watermelon, honey, figs, olives & cured meats
– Bake into spanakopita, savory tarts, or breakfast frittatas — enough for a crowd
– Crumble and store in brine portions for easy weekday use
– Use as a finishing cheese on pasta, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables all week

📦 Storage Tips for the 4.4 lb Format

– Keep submerged in its brine and refrigerated at all times
– Portion into smaller airtight containers with brine for easier daily use
– If brine level drops, top up with a simple saltwater solution (1 tsp salt per cup of water)
– Best consumed within 4–6 weeks of opening for peak flavor
– Do not freeze — freezing alters the texture

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why buy the 4.4 lb instead of the 2.2 lb?
  The 4.4 lb offers the best price per ounce and is ideal for families, frequent cooks, and anyone who uses feta regularly. You'll save on both cost and shipping compared to ordering the smaller size twice.
• 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 for 4–6 weeks. Portion into smaller containers with brine for easier daily access. Top up with saltwater (1 tsp salt per cup of water) if brine runs low.
