Will Feta Cheese Keep in the Fridge?

I personally don’t like to buy the pre-crumbled Feta, because that type doesn’t keep well in the fridge. I buy blocks of Feta at Costco, where Kirkland Organic Feta is my favorite. I have a definite preference for sheep’s milk Feta, but every type of block Feta Cheese I’ve had from Costco has been good.

My favorite method for storing Feta Cheese:

Admittedly, I might not be able to store a big block of Feta if I didn’t have the FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer (affiliate link), which vacuum packs the cheese so it stays good in the fridge for months and months.

Is Feta Cheese Low in Carbs?

Most Feta Cheese has less than one carb per serving, which certainly makes me love it even more! Check your package, some brands may differ, but I’m sure every brand of Feta is going to be very low in carbs.
