About Cascaval

Cascaval is a semi-hard cheese that originates from Eastern Europe, particularly prominent in Romanian and Bulgarian cuisine. Made primarily from cow’s or sheep’s milk, it has a mild, buttery flavor and a smooth texture, making it versatile for cooking, melting, or eating on its own. Cascaval is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins such as B12, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation to maintain heart health. Often used in traditional dishes like cascaval pane (breaded and fried cheese), this cheese is a staple in both everyday meals and festive occasions. Whether grated, melted, or paired with fruits and nuts, Cascaval offers a delicious source of nutrients while adding a comforting, creamy touch to a variety of recipes.
