About Manouri cheese

Manouri cheese is a semi-soft, Greek whey cheese made primarily from sheep or goat milk, often enhanced with cream. It originates from the Thessaly and Macedonia regions of Greece and is a byproduct of the feta-making process. Known for its smooth texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor, Manouri is versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, including salads, pastries, and desserts. Nutritionally, Manouri is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle repair. However, its creamy composition contributes to higher fat content, making it calorically dense, particularly in saturated fats. Low in sodium compared to feta, it is a gentler option for those monitoring their salt intake. Its delicate taste and nutritional benefits align well with the Mediterranean diet, enjoyed by food enthusiasts seeking balance between indulgence and wellness.
