Salakis is a prominent brand specializing in Mediterranean-style cheeses, most notably Feta. While the brand itself was developed by the French dairy giant Lactalis to market sheep's milk products, this specific 'Classic Greek Feta' is produced in Greece. This is due to the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status of Feta, which legally mandates that cheese named 'Feta' must be produced in specific regions of Greece using traditional methods and specific milk ratios.

Today, Salakis is a core brand within the portfolio of Groupe Lactalis, the world's largest dairy products group. The brand serves as a bridge between traditional Greek cheesemaking and global distribution networks. Although it has roots in French marketing strategy, the physical production of their PDO-labeled products remains strictly tied to Greek territory to maintain authenticity and legal compliance across the European Union.
