Kefalotyri

An ancient cheese, kefalotyri is very hard, light yellow in color and made from sheep and/or goat milk. Its tangy flavor and sharp aroma vary slightly according to the region from which it is produced. As it is an outstanding grating cheese, kefalotyri makes a fine substitute for parmesan or Romano on pastas and in sauces. It is a common ingredient in many traditional Greek specialties and a delicious stuffing for chicken.
