Kashkaval, called kaşar peyniri in Turkish, is a semi-hard, pasta-filata style cheese that is usually made from cow's milk. It has a smooth texture, a mild, lightly savoury flavour and a reliable melt, which makes it a staple in Turkish kitchens. This 700 g block is sold under the Best Farm name and suits households that go through cheese quickly.
Slice it thin for breakfast plates with tomatoes, cucumbers and olives, press it into a toasted sandwich for the classic kaşarlı tost, or grate it over pide, pizza and baked pasta. It also works well inside börek, poğaça and gözleme, and melts nicely into omelettes and menemen.
Keep the block refrigerated and well wrapped once opened so it does not dry out, and follow the storage and use-by details printed on the pack. Please check the pack label for the full ingredient list, allergen and nutrition information before use.
