Danish Feta is a variation of the traditional feta cheese, which is typically made from sheep’s milk. The Danish version is made from cow’s milk, resulting in a creamier texture and milder flavor. It is often found in a brine solution which helps preserve the cheese and impart a slightly salty taste.
