About Melted feta cheese

Melted feta cheese is a creamy, tangy ingredient popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Made primarily from sheep's milk, or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk, it boasts a unique flavor profile that intensifies when melted. Naturally lower in fat and calories compared to many other cheeses, feta also provides a good source of calcium, protein, and essential vitamins like B12. Its crumbly texture transforms into a smooth, luscious consistency when heated, making it a delicious addition to roasted vegetables, pasta dishes, or dips. However, it does contain significant amounts of sodium due to its brine-preservation process, so portion control is recommended, especially for those monitoring their sodium intake. Rich in nutrients and full of flavor, melted feta is a versatile and satisfying choice to enhance a variety of healthy dishes.
