Feta cheese is a tangy, brined cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk. Originating from Greece, it has become a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, often featured in salads, pastries, and grilled dishes. Feta is rich in protein and calcium, which are important for bone health, and contains probiotics that support digestion and gut health. Despite being lower in fat and calories compared to many other cheeses, it is still a source of saturated fat and sodium, so portion control is advised. Its crumbly texture and bold flavor make it a versatile addition to meals, enhancing dishes without requiring large amounts. As part of a balanced diet, feta cheese can be enjoyed in moderation for its health benefits and vibrant taste profile.
