Omega 6:3 ratio 2.9:1
Below the ideal 4:1 — a good omega balance.
Keep it refrigerated, tightly covered, and preferably submerged in its original brine. Follow the pack instructions, especially if the cheese is sold without brine.
Yes, but freezing can make it more crumbly and cause it to release water after thawing. Thawed cheese is usually best in cooked dishes such as omelettes, pastries, or sauces.
White cheese is commonly matured and stored in brine, which gives it a salty flavour. People limiting sodium may want to use a smaller serving; a brief rinse or soak in cold water can reduce surface salt somewhat.
Cooking does not meaningfully remove the cheese's protein, although the texture changes and moisture may be released. Prolonged high heat can make it dry out and separate some of its fat.
It works well with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, fresh herbs, and whole-grain bread. Since it can be salty, balance it with fresh produce rather than combining it with several cured or salty foods.
They are both brined white cheeses, but feta has specific production standards and is traditionally associated with sheep's milk or a sheep-and-goat milk blend. Ekici White Cheese can differ in milk type, firmness, and flavour depending on the product.
It can be eaten at night as part of a light snack, especially with vegetables. If you experience reflux or are sensitive to salty foods, avoid having a large amount close to bedtime.
Lactose levels in white cheese vary with the maturation process, and some people tolerate small portions. It still contains milk, so tolerance should be assessed individually; anyone with a milk allergy should avoid it.
Yes. Cheese is a processed dairy food made by coagulating, salting, and maturing milk. Processing alone does not make it unsuitable, but checking the ingredient list and being mindful of salt is sensible.
It is safer to discard the whole product if mould appears on a soft, moist cheese, because mould can extend below the visible surface. Discard it as well if it develops pink discolouration, a slimy texture, or an unusual smell.
