Cheese and olives are a classic combination often enjoyed in Mediterranean cuisine. Cheese, available in varieties like feta, mozzarella, and gouda, provides protein, calcium, and essential vitamins such as B12, but its high saturated fat and sodium content may require moderation in consumption. Olives, whether green or black, are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and vitamin E, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. However, their sodium content, due to curing and brining, can be significant. Together, cheese and olives complement each other, offering a flavorful balance of creamy and briny. They’re often featured in salads, appetizers, and charcuterie boards. When choosing this pairing, opt for reduced-sodium versions of both and balance them with fresh vegetables or whole grains to promote a healthier dietary intake. Perfect as a snack or side, this duo highlights the simplicity and nutritional richness of Mediterranean-inspired eating.
