Plural of feta; multiple types or portions of feta cheese, a white, crumbly cheese traditionally made from goat's milk.
From Modern Greek feta, literally meaning 'a slice.' The word comes from Greek pheta (a slice) and originally referred to cheese cut into slices. It became widely used in English when the cheese gained popularity.
Feta cheese has an ancient history—it's been made in Greece for thousands of years and is one of the oldest cheeses still in production. The word 'feta' itself means 'slice' because traditionally the cheese was stored in barrels and cut fresh for each meal.
