Goat milk segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period.
By source, the goat milk segment held the major share of the market share in 2023, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global PDO feta cheese market, and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. Traditionally PDO feta cheese was made with 30% goat's milk and 70% sheep's milk. Unlike others, feta cheese cannot be made with 100% goat milk, due to its high lactose content. Traditional goat's milk feta cheese contains a high level of phosphorus and calcium.
Sheep milk was the fastest-growing segment of the market in 2023. The sheep's milk feta cheese is creamy, grainy, and soft in texture with a fat content of 21 g in every 100 g. It has a salty and sour flavor with a strong nutty aroma. The duration of the curing is at least three months, and the cheese is kept in a solution of brine.
