What cheese can you use in place of feta cheese?

Answer 1

Similar cheeses can be found in Albania (djath), Bulgaria (sirene сирене), Cyprus (χαλίτζι, halitzi), Republic of Macedonia (бело сирење, belo sirenje; 'white cheese'), Serbia (sir сир), Israel (gvina bulgarit Bulgarian cheese), Turkey (beyaz peynir 'white cheese'), Egypt (domiati), and Sudan (gibna beyda), Romania (brânză telemea), Russia (brynza, брынза), Ukraine (brynza, бринза), Iran (panir liqvan), Malta (Ġbejna tan- nagħaġ 'sheep's cheese' ) , and other countries. In some of these countries, the name "feta" is used interchangeably with the native, while in others "feta" is not used at all or refers to other (mainly imported) types of cheese.

Answer 2

Not really. They are so different in flavoring that it would greatly affect the recipe. Cream Cheese is creamy and sweet, while Feta is crumbly and salty.

Feta is like blue cheese and Gorgonzola. They have a starter and are ripened and then aged. They are also have a tartness to them.

Cream cheese is soft and creamy. It is not ripened or aged; hence the flavor would be milder then the feta.

Answer 3

You can use well drained Cottage Cheese or Telemea which is a Romanian version of Feta made from cow's milk.

Answer 4

Goat cheese, ricotta, curdled cream (Devon Cream), depending on what you are using it for.

If you are using it for a salad you can go with crumbled blue or Gorgonzola also.

Answer 5

Some types of sheep cheese are almost the same. Feta can be made from both goat and sheep cheese.
