White feta cheese, originating from Greece, is a tangy and crumbly dairy product traditionally made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep and goat milk. Known for its creamy texture and sharp taste, feta plays a central role in Mediterranean cuisine, adding flavor to salads, pastries, and grilled dishes. Nutritionally, feta cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone and muscle health. It also contains probiotics, which may contribute to gut health. However, feta is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key for those managing heart health or blood pressure. With fewer calories compared to aged cheeses, it's a lighter option for incorporating into meals. Its distinct flavor and versatility make feta a favorite ingredient in both traditional and modern culinary creations.
