About Kashkaval cheese

Kashkaval cheese is a semi-hard, pale yellow cheese originating from the Mediterranean and Balkan regions, particularly popular in Bulgarian, Romanian, and Turkish cuisines. Made primarily from sheep’s milk, though cow or a mixture of both may also be used, Kashkaval has a rich, nutty flavor and smooth texture, making it versatile for cooking or enjoying on its own. It is an excellent source of calcium, protein, and essential vitamins like B12, which support bone health and energy production. However, it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, making moderation important for heart health and overall wellness. With its robust taste and creamy quality, Kashkaval complements salads, pastries, and pasta dishes while offering nutritional benefits when consumed mindfully.
