About Kashkaval

Kashkaval is a semi-hard cheese commonly found in Mediterranean and Balkan cuisines. Made from either cow's, sheep's, or a blend of milks, it has a rich, nutty flavor with a smooth yet slightly crumbly texture. Originating from regions such as Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece, Kashkaval is often used in recipes for baked dishes, as a snack, or melted onto bread. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance. However, it is also relatively high in saturated fats and sodium, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Kashkaval is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it compatible with low-carb diets, but individuals focusing on calories should be mindful of portion sizes due to its dense energy content. Enjoying Kashkaval in balanced servings can provide flavorful nutrition as part of a varied diet.
