Salted cheese is a savory dairy product often crafted by combining fresh cheese with a curing process that involves salt. Commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines, its distinctive taste makes it a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. The cheese typically contains milk solids, salt, and sometimes enzymes or cultures, depending on the type. Nutritionally, salted cheese is a rich source of calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle repair. However, its high sodium content can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake, as excessive consumption may contribute to high blood pressure. Fat content varies by type, with options like feta or halloumi generally lower in fat compared to creamier varieties. Pairing salted cheese with fresh vegetables or whole-grain options can balance its richness and enhance its nutritional profile within a healthy diet.
