Feta is Greek, rules EU court as Denmark told to stop use of name
Greece has scored a win in its long fight to protect its right to the term “feta” after Europe’s top court reprimanded Denmark for not blocking local companies from using the name for sales outside theGreece claims feta as part of its cultural heritage because it has made the sheep and goat milk cheese for 6,000 years.
The commission opened infringement proceedings against Denmark over the issue in January 2018 but said the country had not addressed the issues raised. . Its then advocate general, Dámaso Ruiz-Jarabo Colomer, advised that feta was not a generic name and should be seen as a traditional name deserving protection throughout the EU’s member countries. He said feta’s quality derived from the geographical surroundings where it is made, with its colour, texture, flavour and composition depending on natural environment, culture and traditional production methods.
