Why buy this cheap imitation? I used to buy real imported Greek feta when I had been living in the US.

So your point being that due to the fact that one of Christies’ products contains the word “Greek” as in “Greek Feta” on its label the company must be Greek?
The new, fresh traditional Feta "Christis" is manufactured in Greece by 'Vigla', a member of the Group Vivartia, on Mount Olympus with respect and devotion to the values of this huge diary product delivery area!
The Feta 'Christis' experience in food is unique and of the highest quality. Slice and enjoy the Feta Cheese "Christis" in salads, in food or even totally alone. The salty recipe, from ancient origins, offers an authentic cheese taste which goes hand in hand with Greek history and tradition.
Product quality is assured by the certificate "Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and is guaranteed by the EU since the product is Greek, with thousands years of history.
The Feta 'Christis' has been launched in the Cypriot market in 200g and 400g packaging, in a container with brine (salty water), with it's main ingredient being fresh goat's milk.

I see, so a stock exchange acquisition has changed its ethnicity then!
Hmm, I wonder if the same applies to this “Hellenism” now that Germany financially owns Greece…
