Nutrition Notes

Olive Oil: Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, olive oil helps reduce inflammation and supports cardiovascular health. It’s also a staple of the Mediterranean diet.
Feta Cheese: Feta offers calcium for bone health and provides a savory flavor with fewer calories than most other cheeses, making it a lighter choice.
