Olives and feta cheese are staples of Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for their bold flavors and nutritional benefits. Olives, sourced from olive trees native to the Mediterranean, are rich in healthy fats, particularly heart-friendly monounsaturated fats, as well as antioxidants like vitamin E. Feta cheese, traditionally crafted from sheep's or goat's milk in Greece, is a tangy, crumbly cheese that provides calcium and protein. Together, they offer a savory combination that complements salads, pasta, and breads. While olives are relatively low in calories, they can be high in sodium, especially when cured. Feta cheese is similarly high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. Despite these factors, their healthful fats, minerals, and vibrant flavors make them a popular and nutritious choice in Mediterranean-style eating.
