About
Feta cheese is a brined curd cheese that packs about 8.7 ounces (248 g) into a single measuring cup.
Feta cheese has a density of about 65.5 pounds per cubic foot (1.05 g/mL), making it marginally denser than plain water. Because it is cured in brine, the cheese keeps a high moisture level that adds significant heft to each block. A common 8-ounce (227 g) package takes up slightly less space than a standard measuring cup. Compared to dry, grated cheeses like parmesan, a cup of feta is noticeably heavier because of that extra water weight.
From Wikipedia
Feta is a Greek white brined cheese made from sheep's milk or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. It is soft, with small or no holes, and no skin.
