Does Feta Cheese Absorb The Flavors Of A Dish?
Filed in Category Feta Cheese
I had made a pasta salad with a vinaigrette, and it was quite delicious. The second time I made it, I had left it for a couple of hours and came back to find that it had become dry and tasteless. The only difference was that the second time I added feta cheese, but not very much.
Is feta cheese known to absorb the flavors of a dish ?

the feta may have absorbed just a minimal amount of liquid but, most of the liquid was absorbed by your pasta. Warm pasta sucks up moisture like crazy, much faster than if it were kept chilled. As for being tasteless to you feta cheese can take over the flavor profile of some dishes. The flavor of the feta may have simply taken over the other flavors making them taste weaker. I don’t know what happened for sure because i didnt taste both salads and dont know for sure if you made them exactly the same way. did you use the same vinaigrette? or the same pasta cooked and cooled the same way? there are many variables that may have happened. I hope it helped.
