In early Greek mythology, the ability to make cheese was referred to as "a gift of everlasting value." In modern Greece, the most basic sheep cheeses are called Kasseri. They are made in large wheels of fairly firm cheese. Kasseri is made from a careful blend of 75% sheep's and 25% goat's milk. It is a subtle cheese with a hint of olives in its flavor. Its texture is at first waxy and becomes oily as it reaches room temperature. Like Italian Provolone or Mozzarella, Kasseri is a "pasta filata" cheese where the curds are streched and twisted. Then, once the cheeses are set in their molds, they are given a brine bath to arrest their development, then set aside to dry and age. Because of its unusual ability to stay solid when heated, Kasseri is often served grilled or fried with olives.
  • Made from pasteurized sheep and goat's milk.
  • Photo depicts an 8 lb. half wheel of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.

Wonderful!
I am a huge cheese lover, and when I developed an allergy to cow's milk, I turned to sheep and goat cheese. Most were boring. igourmet has provided me with phenomenal cheeses... including this one, that I use with anything, alone, in sauces, sandwiches, you name it. VERY tasty!

So good.
We cut this cheese for our dinner Sunday night. It was the first time that we'd tried it. It won't be the last time as I put it on our to-buy-again list. It had just the right amount of tang, just the way that we like our cheese. I am going to try grilling it tonight with our dinner.

REAL greek feta!
Greeks make their feta with sheep's milk and age it in brine. This is the real thing and the taste is superb!

I AM GLAD I
Everywhere I looked online they were temporarily out of goat mozzarella. So I saw this Kasseri but wasn't sure if it was supposed to be like cow mozzarella. I hit the "Ask the Expert" tab. They responded quickly and said it was made to be similar, but reminded me to keep in mind that it still will taste differently as all goat cheeses do. When it arrived I used it immediately on my gluten free pizza. It melts great and has that slight creaminess of mozzarella if not the exact taste. And coupled with my own no-cook mock white sauce for pizza and igourmet's Rosy Goat cheese it was a winner. That pizza tasted like an expensive artisan pizza in NY! (My pizza gluten free crusts are ordered online from an artisan bakery so are the best too.) Now Kasseri is my favorite "mozzarella" cheese.

The Best for Saganaki
This is THE cheese for making Greek Saganaki. Soak in brandy for 2 hours; coat with seasoned flour; pan fry in a heavy skillet for a few minutes per side until it starts to melt; add a bit more brandy; flame that bad boy and then squeeze lemon on it and serve right from the pan with warm pita chips and more lemon - TO DIE FOR!
