About Cashkaval cheese

Cashkaval cheese is a semi-hard, yellow cheese made primarily from sheep’s milk, though variations may include cow’s milk or goat’s milk. Originating from the Balkans and Mediterranean region, it is a staple in cuisines of countries like Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Known for its rich, nutty flavor and smooth texture, Cashkaval is often used in cooking, snacking, or paired with bread and wine. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, essential for muscle and bone health. However, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, especially by individuals with heart or blood pressure concerns. The cheese is free of carbohydrates, making it suitable for low-carb diets, and its robust flavor allows smaller portions to satisfy. Its versatility and bold taste make it a beloved ingredient across diverse culinary traditions.
