Cottage cheese is made by adding rennet tablets to boiled cows milk.
Feta cheese is made with Cow's,Goats or Sheep's milk. Greek is very salty. it is usually made from goats milk. I prefer French Feta because its creamier and milder in taste and crumbles more easy than goat or cows milk feta. It was originally made with goat's or sheep's milk, but today much is often made commercially with pasteurized cow's milk (the firmer cow's milk version is made for export). The curdled milk (curdled with rennet) is separated and allowed to drain in a special mold or a cloth bag. It is cut into large slices (feta means 'slice') that are salted and then packed in barrels filled with whey or brine.
Salted and cured in a brine solution (which can be either water or whey) for a week to several months (this is why it is sometimes called a 'pickled' cheese). Feta dries out rapidly when removed from the brine.
Feta cheese is white, usually formed into square cakes, and can range from soft to semi-hard, with a tangy, salty flavor that can range from mild to sharp. Its fat content can range from 30 to 60 percent; most is around 45 percent milk fat. It is now made in many countries, but usually the pasteurized cow's milk version, on a commercial scale.
Feta is delicious crumbled over salads (the Classic Greek Salad), or together with sliced tomatoes, sprinkled with olive oil and fresh herbs. It is also used as a filling for puff pastry (feuilletes)
I don't think feta looks like cottage cheese. Feta is crumbly and cottage cheese is a wetter, mushy consistency. Feta cheese is really good you should try it.
i dont like feta cheese...i also dont like cottage cheese =P eww
feta cheese is usually in the form of a cube with its liquid (whey?, i think), if you get it from greek or middle eastern speciality stores. the feta cheese you find in supermarkets is already crumbled and frankly not as fresh or authentic.
Feta looks good and is very salty....get that glass of water ready!
