Kostarelos Barrel-Aged Feta PDO is a traditional Greek feta made from sheep’s milk with a small addition of goat’s milk, produced in accordance with the Protected Designation of Origin standards. What distinguishes this product is its maturation in wooden barrels, a classic method that allows slow interaction between the cheese, brine, and wood, resulting in greater aromatic depth and complexity.
During aging, the feta develops a firm yet creamy texture, balanced salinity, and a rich, layered flavor profile with pronounced dairy notes and a subtle tangy finish. Compared to feta matured in stainless steel containers, the barrel-aged version shows more character, roundness, and persistence on the palate.
The careful selection of milk from local farms and the controlled aging process contribute to its consistency and authenticity. This feta is suitable both for direct consumption and for use in traditional Greek dishes, where it retains structure while enhancing flavor.
Kostarelos Barrel-Aged Feta PDO reflects the company’s commitment to preserving traditional cheesemaking practices while delivering a product with strong regional identity and refined sensory expression.
