Feta Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert feta from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Feta is a briny, crumbly white cheese made from sheep's milk (or a blend of sheep and goat milk), with a sharp, salty flavour. One metric cup (250 ml) of crumbled feta weighs around 150 grams or 5.29 ounces. When a recipe calls for crumbled feta by volume, measuring by grams gives a more accurate result, as loosely crumbled and firmly packed feta fill a cup very differently.
Feta varies in moisture and how finely it crumbles, so volume measures are unreliable. Measuring by grams ensures consistent saltiness and texture in salads, pastries, and baked dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are feta and feta cheese the same thing?
- Yes. Feta cheese is another name for feta, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of feta weighs 150 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- What is 0.25 cups of feta in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of feta is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter
- How many grams is 1 tablespoon of feta?
- 1 tablespoon of feta is 9 grams. Density carries that figure through any quantity, so 2 tablespoons is 18 grams and 1/2 tablespoon is 4.5 grams. Weighing beats measuring by volume here, since how firmly you fill the tablespoon shifts the result a little either way. The converter at the top of this page takes any amount.
- How much does a cup of feta weigh?
- 1 cup of feta in grams is 150 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 300 grams and half a cup is 75 grams. Weighing feta by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. The chart above this FAQ lists the cup amounts recipes call for, and the converter at the top handles anything between them.
- How do you measure feta in cups?
- 100 grams of feta is 0.67 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 1.33 cups and 50 grams is 0.33 cups. Grams to cups helps when a recipe gives a weight but you measure with cups. The chart above this FAQ covers the other weights cooks measure out.
- How do you measure feta in tablespoons?
- 50 grams of feta is 5.56 tablespoons. The ratio is fixed, so 100 grams is 11.11 tablespoons and 25 grams is 2.78 tablespoons. Tablespoons are handy for smaller amounts when you would rather not get out the scales. The chart above this FAQ turns the other common weights into tablespoons too.
Related to Feta
Goat's Cheese
Goat's cheese is the closest crumbled substitute for feta: both weigh 150 g per cup and both add a tangy, fresh-cheese note to salads and pastries. Goat's cheese is creamier and less salty, with no brine, so the result will be milder. Swap 1:1 in Greek salads, spanakopita, and tarts where the cheese is crumbled rather than melted. See our Goat's Cheese converter.
Ricotta
Ricotta is far milder and wetter than feta (258 g vs 150 g per cup), with no salt or brine. It works as a neutral, creamy stand-in in baked fillings like spanakopita or quiche where the sharp, briny character of feta is not critical. Season ricotta with salt to compensate for feta's saltiness. See our Ricotta converter.
Domiati
Domiati is the Egyptian brined white cheese, milder and softer than feta. It crumbles the same way into salads and pastries but is less tangy, so expect a gentler result. Match by weight rather than volume since domiati is heavier per cup. See our Domiati converter.
Halloumi
Halloumi is firm and holds its shape under heat, while feta crumbles and does not grill well on its own. Both are salty and used in Mediterranean cooking, but halloumi is the pick when you need a cheese that can be fried or grilled. See our Halloumi converter.
