About GREEK KEFALOTYRI CHEESE
Roussas Greek Kefalotyri Cheese is an aged hard cheese made from a traditional blend of pasteurized sheep and goat's milk, sea salt, animal rennet, and cheese culture. Per 100 g, it provides 304 calories, 21.43 g protein, 3.57 g carbohydrates, and 25 g fat. Kefalotyri is one of the oldest Greek cheeses, prized for its sharp, salty, pungent flavor and firm texture that holds up to high-heat cooking without fully melting -- making it ideal for the classic Greek saganaki preparation, where slabs are pan-fried until golden. The mixed sheep and goat milk base creates a more complex flavor than single-species cheeses. It also grates well over pasta and is used in Greek pies and alongside olives on mezze platters. Not suitable for vegetarians due to animal rennet.
