Summary

This traditional feta cheese chunk is made from cultured pasteurized part-skim milk, providing a good source of protein and calcium with minimal processing. However, the inclusion of natamycin as a mold inhibitor introduces a preservative that slightly detracts from the traditional perception of cheese quality. Despite being processed, the ingredient list remains relatively clean, contributing to a favorable score.
