Saganaki/Kefalotiri Cheese CASE, approx. (2 x 6.25 lb pcs.) approxoximate total weight:  12.5 lbs.

This hard, pale golden, yellow cheese has a tangy flavor and a sharp aroma, reminiscent of Italian Pecorino Romano. This style of Kefalotiri (kefalotyri) is salty and has a sharp taste similar to Kefalograviera. It is served in cheese pastries, grated over cooked dishes, or as a table cheese. The color varies from white to yellow, with scatterings of little holes.  It is most popular when making the Greek flaming appetizer sensation known as saganaki.  These blocks are convenient for getting the perfect cuts for saganaki and at a much better price than the Greek made cheese.

Ingredients: pasteurized cow's milk, salt, bacterial culture, rennet, lipase.
