About Beyaz peynir

Beyaz Peynir is a soft, white cheese originating from Turkey, widely used in Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made traditionally from sheep's milk but also from cow's or goat's milk, it has a tangy, slightly salty flavor and a creamy, crumbly texture. Rich in protein and calcium, it supports bone and muscle health while providing essential vitamins like B12 and riboflavin. Its fermentation process adds probiotics, which may benefit gut health. However, Beyaz Peynir is also high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is recommended, particularly for individuals with heart or blood pressure concerns. This versatile cheese is often enjoyed in salads, pastries like börek, or as part of a Turkish breakfast spread, making it a flavorful and nutritious addition to various dishes.
