About Salaattijuusto

Salaattijuusto, often referred to as "salad cheese," is a Finnish take on Mediterranean-style white cheeses like feta. Made from cow's milk, it is typically brined, offering a mildly tangy and salty flavor. Its firm yet crumbly texture makes it ideal for use in fresh salads, savory pastries, or as a topping for roasted vegetables. Salaattijuusto contains protein and calcium, contributing essential nutrients to your diet. However, due to its high sodium content, portion control is recommended, especially for individuals managing their salt intake. With a lower fat content compared to traditional feta, it can be a lighter option within meal preparations. Popular in Nordic cuisine and beyond, Salaattijuusto brings a subtle richness and enhances the flavors of dishes while aligning with the region's approach to balanced, wholesome eating.
