Kasseri is a traditional, Greek-Turkish cheese made from unpasteurised sheep milk with no more than 20% goat`s milk mixed in. It is a springy-textured, white crust, stringy cheese belonging to the pasta filata family like Provolone or Muenster. To obtain the correct texture and flavour, the cheese needs to be matured for a minimum of four months. It is used as a substitute to the famous mozzarella by many American consumers. The cheese also competes against another famous Greek cheese; Feta. Kasseri is preferred by connoisseurs who like full flavoured cheeses. A bite of Kasseri will enrich your palate with exciting salty flavours and pungent odor. But interestingly, it soon leaves behind a sweet aftertaste. This is because of the high use of sheep`s milk. Pale yellow in colour, Kasseri`s mild, palatable, buttery taste makes it an excellent table cheese. It contains a fat content of anywhere between 25% – 45%. When served at room temperature, it can be paired with omelets, sandwiches or used as a pastry cheese.

Introducing our Bulgarian Cow Feta Cheese, a crumbly and tangy delight that will make any dish sing. Perfect for salads, pastas, and more, this cheese is a must-have for any gourmet pantry.

Kashkaval is the Balkan equivalent to Greek Kasseri, commonly referred to as “The Cheddar of the Balkans”. This cheese is semi-firm with a smooth surface. It is slightly tangy with a nutty taste and is great for salads, pizza, quesadillas, or shredded on top of pasta. Euro Gourmet Kashkaval can also be served fried as “Kashkaval Pane”, which is the Bulgarian equivalent to “Greek Saganaki”.

This pale golden-yellow cheese has a full bodied yet pleasant and light aroma that falls between Kasseri and Kefalotiri in hardness, but with a more sharp and salty taste. Kefalograviera makes a tasty impression when grated into pasta, souces, pies, as well as meat and poultry dishes. It is great when paired with bread and home-made jam, and is exceptionally delicious when fried to make Saganaki cheese.
