Feta PDO Burgers
Feta PDO is a traditional and certified Greek cheese with high nutritional value and rich taste that goes well with almost
all food products. It comes from sheep’s milk or a mixture of sheep and up to 30% goat’s milk.
Look for the PDO sign (Protected Designation of Origin) which ensures the quality, the uniqueness and
the authenticity of Feta.
