Salty cheese is a flavorful dairy product known for its robust taste and high sodium content. Common varieties include feta, halloumi, and Roquefort, each originating from different regions, such as Greece, Cyprus, and France. Made from cow, goat, or sheep milk, salty cheese is rich in protein and calcium, beneficial for bone health and muscle development. It often contains probiotics that support digestive health, particularly in aged or fermented types. However, its high salt content may not be ideal for those managing blood pressure or heart health. Many salty cheeses also have a considerable fat content, particularly saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. Salty cheese is a staple in Mediterranean diets and is often used to enhance salads, baked dishes, and grilled recipes. When eaten mindfully, it can be part of a balanced diet, offering both nutritional benefits and bold flavor.
