Dee Creek Farm Goat Feta
It’s funny. I have a cheese that’s always in my fridge because it’s so good. Meanwhile, here I am running a cheese blog and forgetting to tell anyone else about how great this cheese is!
Dee Creek Farm Goat Feta is that cheese. Simply put, this is the best feta cheese I’ve ever tasted (so far in this life of mine). The texture is nicely compact and smooth but still crumbles nicely if you want it to. I normally buy the blocks because I like to slice it over a salad. The flavor is just sublime. You get some punchy saltiness right up front, followed by a lemony tang and then a smooth flavor of goat milk. It’s a perfect blend. None of the flavors are overpowering. Just delicious.
If I’m not slicing this over a salad, I love this by itself with perhaps a few fresh green olives, or with a hunk of very hearty bread. I have to admit that I find this cheese to be so good, that I’m reluctant to melt it into a large dish because I really want to taste it!
This cheese is made in Woodland, Washington in an ecologically sound, pesticide-free, sustainable environment. You can read more about the philosophy of Dee Creek Farms here. They sell at several Portland Farmer’s markets, which are listed on their website.

Hi Spark – Thanks for your comment. Goat cheeses are quickly becoming a favorite of mine and I have been surprised at the variety in goat cheese from fresh to feta, and cheddar to gouda styles. Drunken Goat is another favorite …such a perfect blend of flavors. Thanks for letting me know about your other cheeses and looking forward to seeing you back at PFM.
