About Brynza cheese

Brynza cheese is a traditional Eastern European dairy product, originating mainly from countries like Ukraine, Romania, Slovakia, and Moldova. This white, crumbly cheese is made from sheep’s milk but can also be crafted with goat or cow’s milk. It boasts a tangy, salty flavor and a slightly creamy texture. Brynza is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins such as B12, promoting bone health and muscle function. However, its high sodium content makes it important to consume in moderation, especially for individuals managing blood pressure. Low in carbohydrates, Brynza fits well within low-carb and keto diets. It’s a staple in regional cuisine, often used in dumplings, salads, and baked dishes. As a fermented product, it supports gut health by providing beneficial bacteria. Its unique flavor profile and nutritional benefits make it a versatile ingredient, blending tradition and health-conscious eating.
