The history of feta cheese is so long-termed just like humanitys' race and it connects with the domestication of pet animals for 10.000 years. The origin of cheese is not known exactly. It is believed that cheese
was produced about 8.000 years ago. It is highly possible that its production was
random while transferring milk in stomachs of young animals.

There are plenty of records showing the production and consumption of cheese in
ancient Greece such as from Aristotle, Pythagoras and ancient comedy writers. It

feta cheese.

The myth says that Cyclops Polyphemus was the first who produced cheese. One
day, to his big surprise, while transporting the milk he got from his sheep in bags
made from animals’ stomachs, he realised that milk had coagulated and started to be in a solid, delicious and sustainable form.

The cheese is vested from the European Commission the protected title of
origin. This means that the title "Feta" cannot be used from cheeses with
similar ingredients that are produced abroad or with a procedure different from the traditional one. It has been
introduced by the European Union for the protection of local products and was
set into power in 1996.
