Marinated feta is a flavorful dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing the region's love for simple yet vibrant ingredients. This delicacy features creamy, tangy feta cheese infused with a blend of olive oil, herbs like oregano or thyme, garlic, and sometimes chili flakes for a hint of spice. The marinating process enhances the cheese's rich flavor while preserving its soft, crumbly texture. Packed with calcium and protein, feta supports bone health and muscle function. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, while the herbs provide additional nutrients and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, feta is naturally high in sodium and saturated fat, so portion control is key when enjoying this dish. Marinated feta is perfect as a topping for salads, paired with bread, or added to a charcuterie board for a nutritious yet indulgent treat.
