Nettle cheese Calories

Nettle cheese tastes savory and milky, with a mild leafy, herbal flavor. The nettle can be subtle or more noticeable, while the saltiness and creaminess come mainly from the cheese used.

Eat nettle cheese sliced with bread or crumble it into a salad. It also works in sandwiches, omelets, and savory pastries, where its herbal flavor pairs well with mild ingredients.
