Crumbled Feta Cheese Measuring FAQs
Why does feta cheese hold its shape in hot ovens instead of melting? ▾
Feta is an acid-set brined cheese with high protein crosslinks that soften but do not flow into liquid pools when baked.
How should you store feta to keep it fresh? ▾
Keep it submerged in salted water brine (1 tsp salt per cup of water) in an airtight container to prevent drying out.
