BOUKOUVALAS

Kefalotyri cheese is a hard, yellow cheese variant made from sheep and goat milk of Greek origin. Depending on the mixture of milk used in the production, the cheese varies between yellow and white color.

Kefalotyri is a popular and well-known cheese, having its roots as far back as the Byzantine era.

Kefalotyri matures in two to three months.

An “aged” kefalotyri that has matured for a year or more, is drier with a stronger flavor. It is eaten either as a snack with ouzo or grated and spread on various dishes.
