Whipped Feta
This Whipped feta is a creamy and spreadable cheese made by blending feta cheese with yogurt and olive oil. It has a smooth and tangy flavor, similar to traditional feta cheese, but with a lighter and more spreadable texture. It can be used as a dip, spread, or topping for various dishes.
