Bryndza, a soft, kneaded, and salted sheep cheese. We all know it, but only occasionally include it in our diet. Yet bryndza has incredible healing effects! Some even call it white gold because it is rich in all the original components of sheep's milk. Although the best known is the "May bryndza", we definitely should not eat it only in May but consume it throughout the year.
How can bryndza help us and what effect does it have on our body?
Few know that regular consumption of bryndza lowers the level of bad cholesterol as well as blood sugar levels. Bryndza contains friendly lactic acid bacteria that beneficially affect us in many ways. It also helps in the prevention of colon cancer and regulates the digestive mechanism. Bryndza is great for allergies, bone thinning, diabetes, and even boosts immunity. Regular consumption can also relieve children from sudden pains caused by rapid growth. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, which is especially valuable today. It contains a lot of quality proteins, minerals, and B-complex vitamins, as well as conjugated linoleic acid. It has low lactose content and cleanses the blood. White gold is therefore an extremely healthy food and has a positive effect, especially if it is true sheep and unpasteurized bryndza.
How to recognize the right bryndza?
We know 2 types. Traditional shepherd's bryndza is made from raw unpasteurized milk and is a real probiotic bomb. One gram contains more than a billion of over twenty types of lactic acid bacteria. You can find it in stores labeled as true, traditional, homemade, sheep, or shepherd's.
Bryndza from pasteurized milk contains several types of lactic acid bacteria added to heat-treated milk. In stores, you will find it as thermized bryndza.
According to the food code, bryndza should contain at least 50% sheep cheese. True traditional bryndza should therefore contain small grains of sheep cheese.
