Lightness and flavor in balance

Feta cheese clouds with honey and seeds are one of those experiences of lightness and flavor in a perfect balance that everyone should try, and repeatedly. Clouds can be prepared sweet or salty, and although several preparations bear this name, they originally alluded to the first colored result obtained by beating egg whites, such as meringue, also called a sigh or cloud, due to its vaporous character.

Although these are mainly desserts, you can make savory preparations, use cheeses like feta. Feta is a classic Greek cheese, also very popular in Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria and Denmark, rindless, semi-hard and usually sold in rectangles. It is possible to find them in different consistencies, although for this recipe the hardest is better.

It is about a type of soft white cheese originating from Greece. It is mainly made from sheep’s milk or a mixture of sheep’s and goat’s milk. It is a very popular cheese in Mediterranean cuisine because of its salty and slightly acidic flavor.

Feta cheese is characterized by its crumbly and moist texturewith a distinctive flavor that makes it ideal for use in salads, sauces, pasta toppings and many other dishes. Its flavor can vary depending on the maturation time, but it generally has a salty and slightly acidic touch.

For the cheese to work well in this recipe, it is best to grate it, which may not be an easy task if it is a soft to semi-hard cheese. A tip for grating this type of cheese is to put it in the freezer 30 minutes in advance, so that it has a firmer consistency, but without letting it freeze, as this would lose its properties.
