Kefalotiri Cheese

A Greek cheese that is pale yellow in color and has irregular holes. It is a hard cheese made from sheep and goat's milk. Kefalotiri is generally used as a grating cheese and served on top of cooked dishes. It has a strong flavor and sharp aroma. It is saltier and harder than Kasseri cheese. The name of the cheese is derived from the Greek word ''kefali'', meaning head, because it is shaped into the form of a head.
