Akkawi Cheese
Akkawi Cheese is a mild, white brined cheese from the Eastern Mediterranean commonly used in Middle Eastern and Levantine cuisines for sandwiches, salads and baking. It is typically sold fresh and has a soft, sliceable texture and a milky, slightly tangy flavor. Nutritionally, Akkawi Cheese is a good source of animal protein, providing about 21g of protein per 100g, and also supplies calcium and vitamin B12; it is relatively high in fat and saturated fat. It is also known for being quite salty due to the brining process, so it contributes notable sodium to a meal. From a nutritional quality perspective, this cheese provides a complete amino acid profile and useful minerals like calcium, but it lacks fiber and is best enjoyed in moderation if you are watching saturated fat or sodium intake.
