Cow cheese Mastelo® is a versatile cheese with multiple possibilities for use in the kitchen: It has a high melting point that makes it suitable to grill and it’s an excellent material for “saganaki” (fried cheese meze).
Goat cheese Mastelo® is a white Greek cheese with soft salted taste. It is made from full fat goat milk. It can replace mozzarella on pizzas and pies or you can use it as stuffing for meats and vegetables whichever the use it’s always delicious!
The word mastelo literally means the wooden bucket used for the milk collection and its origin is Venetian.
