Kefalotyri

Kefalo (Greek κεφαλοτύρι, " head cheese " ), is a species of Greek hard cheese with salty and slightly sweet taste.

Kefalo is from the fresh milk of sheep and goats - separately or mixed - made ​​. For grilled or fried food, this cheese is ideal because it does not melt too quickly.

Kefalo is originally from the island of Kefalonia and is comparable with the Italian Pecorino. Today he is an integral part of Greek cuisine and is used (in addition to feta ) for preparing the appetizer Saganaki.
