Bulgarian cheese, often referred to as "sirene," is a traditional white brined cheese originating from Bulgaria. Made primarily from cow, sheep, or goat milk, it has a crumbly texture and tangy, slightly salty flavor. Sirene is a staple in Bulgarian cuisine, featured in dishes like Shopska salad, banitsa, and baked casseroles. Rich in calcium and protein, it supports bone health and muscle growth, while also containing probiotics that improve gut health. However, its high sodium content due to brining should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals monitoring blood pressure or sodium intake. Bulgarian cheese’s natural richness and versatile profile make it both a delicious and nutrient-packed addition to a balanced diet.
