About Sheftalia
Sheftalia is a traditional Cypriot sausage made from minced pork or lamb combined with finely chopped onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Wrapped in caul fat, this delicacy is grilled over charcoal, giving it a smoky flavor and juicy texture. As part of Cypriot cuisine, Sheftalia is often served in pita bread alongside salad, cucumbers, tomatoes, and a dollop of yogurt or tzatziki. While rich in protein due to the meat content, Sheftalia can be high in fat, particularly saturated fat from the caul wrapping. Grilling minimizes added fats, making it a healthier option than frying, but portion control is key for balancing its caloric impact. Rich in flavor and rooted in Mediterranean tradition, Sheftalia is a hearty dish that reflects the vibrant culinary culture of Cyprus.
