Satiety and Feelings

Did you know?
Feta has been made in Greece for over 2,000 years and is one of the oldest cheeses in the world.
The name “feta” comes from the Italian word for “slice”, referring to how it’s traditionally stored and served.
True Greek feta is PDO protected, meaning it must be made in specific regions of Greece using sheep or goat milk.
Feta is typically aged in brine, giving it its signature salty flavor and extended shelf life.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Very high in sodium due to the brine — may not be ideal for those on low-salt diets.
Contains saturated fat, which should be moderated for heart health.
Its strong flavor can overpower dishes if not balanced with other ingredients.
