One of Greece’s best known exports is Feta cheese. Once considered exotic, one can now find Feta cheese around the world and in most mainstream grocery stores. Everyone loves Feta!

Last week at St. Lawrence Market Kitchen I held a tantalizing menu that will showcased Feta cheese in all five courses.

Thank you to Nisos Importing who provided Cretan olive, balsamic vinegar and Zaros sparkling and still water at the table.

Thank you to Apostolos Gerakinis will pour his selection of Greek wines – all from Cavino (distributed through United Stars).
