For the best flavor, use high-quality Greek feta cheese packed in brine. Avoid pre-crumbled feta, as it tends to be drier. To toast pine nuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch carefully, as they burn easily. Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon zest to your preference. A little goes a long way! Whipped feta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The olive oil may solidify slightly, so let it come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
