Feta PDO is matured in wooden barrels or tin cans for at least two months. This process enhances its flavor and helps preserve it.
The FetaPDOEU campaign aims to inform consumers in Germany and France about the quality and safety of European products bearing the PDO and PGI designations, with a particular focus on the quality characteristics of Feta PDO, in order to increase the awareness and recognition of the PDO logo. In addition, the campaign aims to increase the value of exports and the market share of Feta PDO in the German and French markets.

It is popular all over the world and has great cultural significance in Greece, as it is deeply rooted in Greek cuisine and customs, symbolizing hospitality, tradition, and culinary heritage.
At every stage of production, from milk collection, pasteurization, and cheese-making to the maturing process in wooden barrels or tin cans, strict quality controls are being implemented, set out by quality standards.
