UF Cheese — a healthy, delicious choice
In Iranian food culture, cheese is a staple of the breakfast table. UF cheese is one of the most common varieties of white Iranian cheese and—thanks to its special production method—offers higher nutritional value compared with many traditional cheeses. UF (ultrafiltration) production passes milk through fine filters so that important nutrients—especially proteins and calcium—remain concentrated in the cheese. The result is a healthier, more flavorful product.
Don’t forget: a complete breakfast becomes even better when you enjoy UF cheese with walnuts or fresh herbs, warm bread and butter. To add variety and boost the nutritional value of breakfasts and snacks, serve UF cheese alongside fresh cream.
