Feta (Greek: φέτα, féta, "slice") is a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece. Feta is a crumbly aged cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. It is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads (e.g. the Greek salad), pastries and in baking, notably in the popular phyllo-based dishes spanakopita ("spinach pie") and tyropita ("cheese pie"), or served with some olive oil or olives and sprinkled with aromatic herbs such as oregano. It can also be served cooked or grilled, as part of a sandwich, in omelettes, or as a salty alternative to other cheeses in a variety of dishes.

Soft cheeses include cheeses with a higher moisture content as the factor that controls cheese hardness is moisture content, which depends on the pressure with which it is packed into moulds, and upon aging time. Semi-soft cheeses and the sub-group, Monastery cheeses tend to be bland in flavour. Some well-known varieties include Havarti, Munster and Port Salut.
