About Friend cheese

Friend Cheese is a versatile dairy product known for its mild flavor and semi-soft texture. Originating from Mediterranean cuisines, this type of cheese is lightly salted and often enjoyed grilled or pan-fried, which enhances its creamy interior and crisp golden crust. Made from cow’s, sheep’s, or goat’s milk, Friend Cheese is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and strong bones. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, so moderation is key for those watching their heart health. Its adaptability makes it a popular addition to salads, wraps, and vegetarian dishes, offering a satisfying alternative to meat. Friend Cheese is a nutrient-dense option when balanced with wholesome sides like fresh vegetables and whole grains, making it a flavorful and functional choice in a well-rounded diet.
