About Kashkawan

Kashkawan is a semi-hard cheese with roots in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in Levantine and Mediterranean regions. Made from sheep’s milk, cow’s milk, or a blend of both, its rich, tangy, and slightly salty flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in various dishes or a satisfying standalone snack. Kashkawan is a good source of protein and calcium, essential for muscle health and bone maintenance. However, like many cheeses, it contains saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. It also provides vitamins like B12 and riboflavin, which support energy metabolism and red blood cell production. Its firm texture and ability to melt well make it ideal for grating over baked dishes, adding to salads, or enjoying with bread and fruit. Kashkawan balances flavorful indulgence with nutritional benefits when consumed mindfully.
