About Telemea veche

Telemea Veche is a traditional Romanian cheese crafted primarily from sheep's or cow's milk and aged for over 60 days. It boasts a crumbly texture and tangy, savory flavor, making it a favorite ingredient in Balkan cuisine. Rich in protein and calcium, Telemea Veche supports bone health and muscle function, while its probiotics can promote digestive well-being. However, its lengthy aging process concentrates fat and salt, making it a high-sodium option that should be consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals managing cardiovascular health. Versatile and flavorful, this cheese can enhance salads, pastries, or pair perfectly with fresh vegetables and bread. Known for its artisanal methods and cultural significance, Telemea Veche is a staple of Romanian gastronomy, offering both nourishment and a taste of tradition.
