KASERI, SEMI-HARD
GREECE
Kaseri is one of Yiayia’s favorite cheeses and a beloved staple on every Greek dining table. This mild, semi-hard cheese is traditionally made from a blend of cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk, creating a harmonious balance of flavours.
Its creamy, buttery texture is complemented by a subtle saltiness and a lingering tang, making it incredibly versatile in the kitchen.
With its excellent melting properties, Kaseri is perfect for a cheese toastie with a bit of bite.
Kaseri also shines in a Greek mezze platter, where it pairs wonderfully with olives, marinated anchovies or sardines, fresh tomatoes, taramasalata, and crusty bread. For the ultimate Greek experience, enjoy this mezze with a glass of Retsina or Metaxa, two classic Greek wines. It makes for an ideal Aperitivo (ouzerisma) to enjoy on a summer day or as a prelude to a grand Greek feast.
