The country-style fillo dough provided by our friends at Fillo Factory is perfect to make pinwheels (all opinions are my own). It is slightly thicker than regular pastry but not too thick.
Is feta and Greek cheese the same?
Feta (Greek: φέτα, féta) is a Greek brined white cheese made from sheep’s milk or from a mixture of sheep and goat’s milk. It is soft, with small or no holes, a compact touch, few cuts, and no skin. Crumbly with a slightly grainy texture, it is formed into large blocks and aged in brine.
What does spanakopita taste like?
Spanakopita has something of a buttery, earthy, and wholesome-tasting flavor thanks to its flaky pastry and thick spinach filling. The salty feta can add a briny complexity to the taste, too, according to The Kitchn. It frequently contains fresh oregano and dill among other herbs, lemon, and scallions.
What are Greek pies called?
In Greece, pies (known as pitas in Greek) are both savory and sweet, and they’re made with delicate phyllo dough rather than a thick crust. Usually, a pita consists of phyllo dough either wrapped around a filling or layered around it.
How healthy is spanakopita?

Do you eat spanakopita hot or cold?
Spinach and Feta Spanakopita Triangles can be eaten as a snack or an appetizer, hot or cold, on their own or with a bit of a refreshing Cucumber and Yogurt Dip (Tzatziki). The pie can be made into individual portions, as you see in this post, or layered in a baking dish and then cut into squares, kind of like baklava.
