What is feta cheese and how is it made?<\/h2>\n
Feta is a soft, semi-soft cheese from Greece. It has a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), which means that it must be made using traditional methods from ewe's milk or a mixture of ewe's and goat's milk. Yes, like all cheeses, feta originally contains lactose, which is naturally present in milk. However, its quantity decreases sharply during fermentation.<\/p>\n On average, feta cheese contains around 0.5 to 1.5 g lactose per 100 g<\/strong>which is still much lower than milk (4.8 g\/100 ml).<\/p>\n Fermentation plays an essential role. Lactic acid bacteria consume some of the lactose present in milk to produce lactic acid, which reduces the final lactose content.<\/p>\n What's more, as feta cheese is generally eaten in small portions (cubes in a salad, pieces in a recipe), the amount of lactose ingested remains modest.<\/p>\n Not necessarily.
