Greek cheese

FETA

This crumbly white cheese is often used in salads and pastries, and it gets its name from the process of slicing curds into pieces.

The clue "Greek cheese" directly points to feta, a well-known brined cheese from Greece made traditionally from sheep’s milk (or a mix with goat’s milk). It’s a straightforward definition with no wordplay—just a simple cultural reference to a staple in Greek cuisine, often used in salads like Greek salad or dishes like spanakopita. If you’ve ever seen crumbly white cheese in Mediterranean recipes, that’s almost always feta. The answer fits both the origin and the category perfectly.
