Bulgaria has some interesting local specialities that are worth a try including shopska salad, which is made from chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers and sprinkled with «Sirene» (
Bulgarian white cheese).
The french and
bulgarian stuff are made of cow's milk and have nothing to do with the traditional feta: the name is legally protected (at least in EU) and can only be used for the type of
white cheese made only in GREECE, from sheep's milk (or a mix of sheep and goat's milk), using a certain procedure.
