About Saj cheese

Saj Cheese is a versatile dairy product commonly found in Middle Eastern cuisine, often paired with thin saj bread for a popular street food snack or breakfast option. Made primarily from cow’s milk, the cheese is soft, white, and mildly salty, offering a creamy texture that complements savory dishes. It contains essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which contribute to bone strength and muscle health. However, its salt content should be considered by individuals monitoring sodium intake. Saj Cheese is traditionally enjoyed fresh and lacks preservatives, enhancing its appeal as a wholesome choice. Its light fat profile compared to aged or processed cheeses makes it relatively healthier, but portion control is advised due to its caloric density. The simplicity and authenticity of Saj Cheese make it a nourishing addition to Mediterranean-inspired diets.
