About Sheep feta

Sheep feta is a tangy, crumbly white cheese traditionally made from sheep's milk, often blended with a small percentage of goat's milk. Originating from Greece and widely used in Mediterranean cuisine, it's a staple in dishes like salads, pastries, and appetizers. Sheep feta is rich in protein, calcium, and beneficial probiotics, supporting bone health and digestion. It also contains healthy fats, including omega-3s, which contribute to heart health. However, due to its high sodium content, moderation is key for those managing salt intake. Compared to cow's milk cheeses, sheep feta is often easier to digest, making it a popular choice for individuals with lactose sensitivities. Its distinct flavor profile and creamy texture make it a versatile, nutrient-dense addition to your meals.
