adapted from a joke, but apt I think.

So a guy was driving along the highway in texas and he stops at a roadside native American market selling pottery.

on one side of the road the pots are $5 and when he looks at the other side of the road he sees they are $15.

Outraged he approaches the old market owner. "What kind of rip off store are you running here, you have the identical pot on each side of the road, one is $5 the other is $15. How can you do business like this?!"

The old man simply shrugs and says, "we get lots of different types of people along this road. Some people like to pay $5 dollars, some people like to pay $15"

I don't think that's the case here thanks.
I'm wondering whether either is cow/sheeps milk, pasteurized/unpasteurized etc.

isnt all feta cheese made from sheep milk?
unless you can find something on the packaging that says why its different then its just the price of 2 different ranges.

maybe from a different source. local or imported.

There's greek style feta, like there's greek style yogurt but it's not actually greek yougurt!

Probably best to go into a bricks 'n' mortar and check them out.

Pretty sure this is different.

Greek style and Greek yoghurt are both similar. One just uses a thickener instead of a culture. Like cream.

Feta cheese will always use sheep's milk.
