About Turkish feta

Turkish Feta is a creamy, white cheese traditionally made from sheep’s or goat’s milk, though cow’s milk varieties are now common. Originating from Turkey, it’s a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, prized for its tangy flavor and crumbly texture. Packed with protein and calcium, it supports strong bones and muscle health. Turkish Feta also contains beneficial probiotics that aid digestion and boost gut health. However, it’s high in sodium, which can be a concern for individuals managing blood pressure. The fat content varies depending on the milk used, with sheep’s milk versions being richer. Versatile and flavorful, it’s often enjoyed in salads, pastries like börek, or paired with fresh vegetables and olive oil for a wholesome dish. Turkish Feta is best consumed in moderation to balance its nutritional benefits with its higher salt and fat content.
