“Food that really matters”. Who’s to say a deli is more important to someone else than cheese. Lmao

@@davi_delu27 hahaha found the racist! Love it!!

Boy ,are you ready to label people as racists or XYZ phobics, completely ignoring any contexts! This host goes down to the root of European specialties because she's probably from Europe. Why would that be racist? And as far as tastes, to each his own, but one finds the making of cheese or pesto far more interesting than the assembly of sandwiches in a NY deli.

@@sca8217 I think you missed the comment of a guy saying that european foods are the only foods that matter. As you can clearly see from my reply I mentioned it’s name and it deleted it’s comment. I’m not labeling the video or the host as racist but the thing that commented that european foods only matter. I think the host is great and her explanation and appreciation of other cultures is great. It’s one commenter that was racist and I stand by my statement. Racists should be mocked and made fun of which is why i refer to it as it and thing but unfortunately it deleted its comment so I can see why you thought I was referring to the video. Anyway, have a good day!

Salty foods makes a lot of fruits better in my opinion like kiwis and strawberries.

also in syria we love to eat cheese with watermelon , greeting from latakia

amazing. i’m albanian living in the US and one of my favorite snacks is feta with kalamata olives

the spanikopita my aunt's makes is sweet with the sour feta . I'm hoping to learn to cook it someday

Cyprus is Turkish land You need to thank them for civilizing you

at least the pronounciation is kind of simple :P

Have you tried watching Greek movies with English subtitles?

It’s super tough. I found that learning Spanish almost fluently really helped me learn other Romance languages like Greek.

@@zack8879 Greek is definitely NOT a Romance language!

@@zack8879 Knowing Spanish only helps with the pronunciation of Greek. But Romance languages are Latin-based, which Greek isn't, of course.

Dodoni is my favorite brand as well. Love from 🇬🇷

Romanians are so cool

What is the etymology of yogurt? Can you look it up? :)

I second that! People look at me like I have two heads when I tell them I half Black half Greek and are shocked when they realize that I’m very familiar with most Greek dishes and know many words in Greek because my grandmother is 100% Greek and my great grandparents migrated to America from the Greek island of Ikaria to a small town on the eastern border of Ohio and West Virginia, separated by the Ohio River. It just so happened that after my grandmother was born and grew into a young woman, she met and married my late grandfather shortly before graduating high school and he was African American so they faced many hardships from my great grandparents who were Catholic and were very upset about my grandmother marrying someone who not only was not Greek, but Black as well, and things only got worse when she fell pregnant with her first child before marriage because it was then that she and her husband were sent away to northern Ohio to live with a relative of my grandfather until she had given birth. Her parents refused anything to do with them until they got married as they were ashamed to have a daughter who got pregnant by a black man out of wedlock and so they married. Not long after my father was born and he was much darker than her first son and was treated very directly from his olive-skinned Hazel-eyed brother but everyone except his father, who understood what he was going through and protected my dad and they had an unbeatable bond up until my grandfather’s death at the young age of 40 from contracting Legionnaires due to working in the steel mill. Long story short, my mother grew up not too far from my dad and eventually ended up living here in Steubenville as well. They were introduced to each other by my dad’s brother, my uncle, who was currently dating my moms sister, my aunt. Not long after my aunt had her youngest son and not even a year later my mom had me her youngest daughter. So having one side of my family being Greek and the other being African American I’ve been asked if I was adopted all my life because I’m dark skinned and my grandmother is Olive toned and people are always blown away when I start talking Greek or introduce my grandmother to them and find out she’s my paternal grandmother lol!

But do you guys also eat the feta cheese with olive oil? I can't eat feta cheese without olive oil.

Δεν μου αρέσει

As an albanian we eat feta cheese with everything since it was created by us.

@@moviesfortheblind4012 no it wasn’t Albanian

oh my gosh that's my favorite! graviera as well

@@SouthSide1312. whenever I buy a block, it never lasts more than 2 days in my house 😅🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

No way, I'm from Poros. Glad you liked it.

I’m a banana

You cannot have feta cheese without olive oil. Olive oil is essential with feta cheese.

Sounds fun 🤩

Original feta is only made in Greece. In Bulgaria you buy something else...

@@Name-jw4sj olive cheese is life.

Mate in Bulgaria you doesn't buy Feta but White cheese made mostly by cow milk . Feta is only allowed to call feta in Greece. So you actually buy feta only from Greece

The latin word Graecus originates from the (ancient) greek word γραικος. The later, possibly means older, ancient and was used in ancient and later years for greeks. Greek, greece came from that latin word.

There is no other people closer to greeks than Italians historically, genetically, and culturally. Despite some cultural differences developed from greek and catholic split and turkic influences on their culture from Turkish colonization.

And the word Italia is Greek as it was the name of the ancient region of nowadays Calabria which was a Greek colony called Italia and the governor was Italos and his subjects were the Itali...ancient Greeks...when Italy became a country much much much later they chose that name for the new country.

What a great day to have ancestry from both places 🇬🇷🇮🇹

Shad the Chad! Now thats some great ancestry

I have some natural cheese… made it myself… 😏

I’ll visit 🇬🇷 ! This is on my bucket list Cheers from San Diego California

@@JohnHausser We will be expecting you with pleasure! Cheers my friend ❤️🇺🇲🇬🇷❤️

@@TheEarthSausage That's good to hear. They yummy and you can make so many healthy snacks with them.

The same with the Turks

Is Greek food not very vegan friendly?

You are so lucky to hold on to tradition.

golden >

Within the EU only genuine made in Greece Feta without cow milk is allowed to be called Feta.

@@nielskut2256 As a greek, that makes me happy

But I like the cow version

I always read ingredients and noticed that. Living in America I don’t trust the quality of milk at the mainstream farms here so I ALWAYS choose the one from Greece with sheep and goat milk.

Well don't try to patent that too..

@@questmarq7901 find someone else to have a useless dogfight please...

Some people might call it an upside. It's all a matter of perspective. Feta is awesome!

When I was in Istanbul, I found a small tavern owner, who made his own feta cheese it was like heaven. It amazing how similar we are we put feta in everything and every time of the day. Even mornings 😂

I for don't mind that odor, but I agree that it can be off putting to some people.

Barbarians created modern civilization how ironic

@@meep3035 um no

Conk um yep, thats not an argument. You’re literally using internet on a computer both inventions by barbarians. :)

@@meep3035 who are you referring to as 'barbarians'?

you as what?

Yes but jelly with eggs is popular.

GIRL mine too!!!! Never met someone else that loves the same two cheeses as I do. If you love brie, try camembert and triple crème if you can ever get your hands on it. Big, big hugs from one cheese lover to another 🥰🤗

@@dodette Mey, i like to make cheese at home, triple créme is really easy to make and the best of all my close friends and family (the only people i share my home made cheese with ahhahahahahha), they absolutly love it! Try to make it! Just one tip: you cant age them for longer than 1,5-2 months without a wooden box, or it become to creamy and collapse. Btw, i kinda dont like it, i'm more of a hard and tangy cheese like a washed rind. But triple creme is the favourite of everyone i make cheese for! Once its ready, make some sourdough, cut the top of cheese open, and just eat it dipping the bread, like a founde of nature hahahaha

@@Gabriel-oi1el Why Carlos, I do believe I'm in love 😍 I'm now so tempted to make it, but more than anything I want some that you made! Fondue of nature is the perfect description for soft cheeses like that! I'm a fan of washed rinds as well, I don't discriminate 🥰 What are some of your personal faves? Let's just have a cheese board with all diff types with some wine and call it a day.

​@@dodette Do it! It's really cool and not that expensive! Once you make one, a new door opens for us, cheese lovers ahhahahahahha. I recommend you a book in case you are going on this insanely tasteful (and sometimes not that good taste) experience! The Art of Natural Cheesemaking I would surely share some with you, there is one on the cave you may like! But I do live in Brazil, maybe a bit far hahahah. My personal fave to this day is one i made for my bday this year. 8 months, raw milk, hard cheese, washed on home brewed mango beer. It was surreal. I made a cheese board with only international Super Gold brazilian cheese (and some out of grid ones ~2 years in a cave, only 4 pound of that cheese ever made~) and this with mango was the best. Wine i'm not so expert hahahahha, but i do make liqueor. Aaaaa and i have some news for you! I said you need a box to age triple creme for longer than 45 days... Yesterday was bday of a good friend of mine, we opened a triple creme with 90 days that was wrapped on ficus leaves from my garden. IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD, and did not colapsed. You know how ficus is good with cheese, both together was really, really good! Going to try some leaves now... kinkan, granada, grape, passion fruit, from the garden. Lemon i guess wont be good. If you have some tip on this! My next experience will be a 60 day cheese made with... musarella curd! Made some mussarela and made a wheel with it, aging for 55 days days now! Maybe will open tomorow. If you want to go on this journey, i can give you a few tips so you dont start from the begining (cant write this word in english, sorry, beginning). As you see, i love to talk about cheese ahhahaha

the 2years in a cave i mean, in a cave cave, natural cave.

THAT'S RIGHT!!! 70-30 NOT 90-10. THE REAL FETA IS 70-30 WITH MATURE FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS IN WOODEN BARRELS

@@Saywhaaattt spot on about the barrel aging. It's the only way to get that signature Feta texture and flavour.

@@thecheesescientist 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Do you speak any greek?

Im also a second generation Greek American, and same here!

third generation but me too!

Man I discovered feta like a week ago and i cannot get enough of it... Never thought any other cheese would have me addicted other than Parmigiano reggiano ...

fine chop garlic and red peppers and sotte in lots of olive oil, add Feta and a bit of pasta water to the end until it melts, pur on pasta and enjoy ;)

Greeks consume ~500 grams of feta with a single plate of pasta. hehe!

Okay?

Okay
