Kaskaval - The Rise of a Great Cheese 100% natural

Tangra Bulgarian Kashkaval -
100% natural sheep's milk
The art of cheesemaking is one of the carefully guarded traditions in the
Rhodope Mountains, the source of one of Bulgaria's great gourmet cheeses.
Tangra Bulgarian Kashkaval dates back over 1000 years. It is made from fresh
natural sheep's milk in the Rhodope Mountains, the southern part of
Bulgaria.
Medium firm and fine in texture, Tangra Bulgarian Kashkaval comes in wheels
weighing 2.2 and 19.8 pounds. Under its natural rind, its delicate creamy
and slightly nutty taste makes it a popular addition to any cheese platter.
Tangra Bulgarian Kashkaval is also great for snacks, salads, warm dishes and
light Rose. Enjoy the taste of the Rhodope Mountains!

NOTE: The
yellow sheep cheese (Kashkaval) is characterized by the content of 18
(eighteen) free amino acids, 9 (nine) of which are unique irreplaceable ones.
They result from the maturing of cheese with the endoenzymes of Lactobacterium
Bulgaricus and Lactobacterium casei.
USDA and FDA have declared Bulgaria to be
free of BSE and FMD.
