Beyaz Peynir

Beyaz Peynir is a brined sheep-and/or-goat-milk cheese originally from Greece that’s widely used across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines for salads, pastries and as a crumbling finishing cheese. It’s known for its tangy, salty flavor and crumbly yet creamy texture. Many countries produce local variants (e.g., Danish-style feta) that mimic the traditional profile. Nutritionally, Beyaz Peynir is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 19.7g of protein per 100 g, and it also supplies important minerals such as calcium. Because it’s made from milk, it delivers a rich, savory profile that enhances dishes even in small amounts. Feta can be a good way to add high-quality protein and calcium to meals, but it is also relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so smaller portions or lower-sodium/part-skim alternatives are common choices for people watching heart health or salt intake.Read more
