Like Haloumi, Fetta was traditionally made using sheep and goat milk. Records show that cheeses such as fetta were being made in Ancient Greece, thousands of years ago, however, the name Fetta only gained popularity recently! Since then, Greek-style fetta cheese has gained popularity across the globe. In Australia, fetta is predominantly made with abundant cow’s milk. Fresco sources Australian cow’s milk and turns it into award-winning, Greek-style fetta cheese in its purpose-built cheese factory in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast. You can purchase feta cheese wholesale, in your favourite supermarket, or you can even buy it direct from us at the cheese factory. Check out the “Shop Fresco” tab to find out more!

Fetta can have a variety of different tastes and textures depending on the milk used, the brining and maturation process and a thousand other variables. Fresco prides itself on having a firm, crumbly fetta that is perfect for baking, salads and even just for snacking on with some oil and oregano.

Mediterranean cheeses like fetta are an integral part of the Mediterranean Diet. Fetta is a healthy choice in moderation due to its high salt content. However, Fresco’s Greek-style Australian Fetta is a source of protein, calcium, and is gluten free as well as vegetarian.

Yes! Australian fetta cheese is predominantly made with Australian cow’s milk and it is 100% real fetta cheese.

You can keep your fresh fetta cheese in the fridge for a week however we recommend consuming it within two to three days of opening as fresher cheese tastes better! You could also freeze it if you’re not going to use it in time. Storing in brine keeps it the freshest for longest.

Fresco’s proprietary maturation and brining process allows us to create a product with a firmer, dryer and sharper taste!

Truthfully, just because a product is made in Greece doesn’t mean it is better quality. Different fettas have different tastes and textures because they’re made in slightly different ways. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide what you like best. Cheese made with sheep and goat’s milk is more expensive, and these milks are less accessible to Australian manufacturers. You might see some people compare products from overseas with those made locally and choose to purchase local instead of imported goods – especially if there’s no difference in quality: We appreciate those who want to support Australian businesses and keep jobs in Australia.
