Located in:Cheese, ALL Sheep

Although our smooth, mild Kashkaval comes from Bulgaria, Kashkaval is a typical cheese from the Balkans and is also produced in Romania, Hungary, Turkey, Greece, Slovenia, and Croatia. Kashkaval is aged for six months, during which time it develops a slightly tangy flavor with a perceptible hint of olive oil. Needless to say, this sheep's milk specialty is almost always served with olives and is a traditional component to the Balkan diet. One of Kashkaval's unique properties is that it does not melt, making it suitable for grilling. Simply cut some 1/2 inch thick slices of Kashkaval and sauté in olive oil and crushed garlic until lightly browned on both sides.

Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.

It's a tasty cheese, however, I have to disagree with the igourmet description that says that this cheese doesn't melt. I put it in my skillet expecting it not to melt and wound up with a skillet full of melted cheese. I put it on toast and it was very good but I wasn't expecting it to melt.

Was preparing for a big party on Saturday night for forty Bulgarians. Needless to say, it was very important that the Kashkaval arrived in time. [...]. Forty Bulgarians went home licking their lips. Thanks from all of us.

This cheese is a bit pungent with a creamy texture. It adds flavor to everything! Great sliced on a cracker, wonderful in baked items - it adds that extra zing to everything without being too strong and overwhelming...
Goes great with anything anytime!
