On salads use oil at room temp. I use Olive for cooking too so in that case you have to heat but do not heat as much as Mustard oil or for frying etc. as Olive Oil has a lower smoking point. However people say very good quality EVOO has higher smoking point and can be used for frying, I do not know.<br /><br />Feta is different from pizza cheese. It has a grainy, crumbly texture almost like home made paneer. But it does not taste like Paneer. You can look for goat cheese which is essentially Feta. The Feta I buy also has herbs in it so tastes really good.Feta is Mediterranean so try stores which sell those specialties.<br /><br />Dayeeta<br /><br />Don't have to wait, i already got my rejection :)<br /><br />Sharona<br /><br />Awww, thank you so much<br /><br />DSM<br /><br />Couple of years ? seriously ?

How much should i heat the oil if making a dish like alfredo? feta r better substitute ki processed cheese na so called pizza cheese available in India (mix of mozzarella and processed).
