The objective of this study was to characterise the volatile organic compounds ( VOC s) profile of plant species, bulk forage grazed by sheep and produced milk at different mountainous areas of Greece. The most abundant plant species of vegetation at 800 m (hill‐land) and 1300 m (highland) altitude, bulk forage and milk samples, were collected. The VOC s profiles of the plant species and milk varied. Common VOC s in milk from both areas were identified, whereas others were discriminatory for each area. Overall, the VOC s composition of mountainous milk could provide a basis for Feta cheese identification with its region.
