Feta Cheese. The healthiest cheese in the world?

Feta cheese is one of the most unique and distinct cheeses one can find. Its bright white colour, its brined nature and slightly sharp, creamy taste, surely makes this a very different cheese. What you may not know however, is that Feta can be as good for you as it is delicious.

Feta cheese has high amounts of vitamin A and K, folate, vitamin B5, iron and magnesium. In addition, it is lower in fat and calories than aged cheeses such as cheddar and parmesan and has more calcium and B Vitamins than soft cheeses such as ricotta, cottage cheese or goat cheese.

It is also much less allergenic and anti-inflammatory, hence good for people who are slightly lactose intolerant. Lastly, Feta is a good source of the protein histidine, which is immensely beneficial for muscles and joints.
