Tag: Feta vs cheddar

Despite its tangy and salty reputation, feta cheese is lower in calories and fat than many aged cheeses like cheddar or parmesan. This raises the question for many health-conscious eaters: is feta cheese unhealthy, or is its nutritional profile misunderstood?

According to USDA data, a standard 100-gram serving of feta contains about 21 grams of fat, while cheddar has approximately 33 grams, confirming that feta is lower fat than cheddar. However, a complete comparison requires a closer look at serving sizes and the overall nutritional profile.
