Best Answer

No, they are two separate cheeses.

Brick Cheese is American made. It's made from whole milk and shaped in brick form. It is semisoft and was named not only because of its shape, but also because in the past, cheese makers used bricks to press excess liquid from the cheese.

Feta cheese dates back thousands of years in Greek history. It was originally made on the Balkan Peninsula, made from sheep's milk. Later, it was made using goat's milk or goat and sheep's milk combined.

Is feta cheese the same as goat cheese?

It depends on the recipe, but probably not. Goat cheese is more delicate flavored and not as salty. It has a different texture, too. Feta is chunky, whereas goat cheese is more crumbly. If all you're doing is crumbling it into a salad, it's probably OK (but remember that feta is much sharper tasting). But if cooking is involved, I don't think it would work well.

Can Feta Cheese be frozen?

I love feta! I purchase it in brick-size at Sam's Club. I then slice it very thin and then crosswise into crumbles. I use as needed and freeze the balance and have had no problem whatsoever. The feta can be used directly from the freezer since it is in small pieces. Mickie
