Belas family has been making cheese in central Greece below the shadow of Mount Olympus, since 1927.

Kasseri is a semi-hard, pale yellow sheet and goat milk cheese with a mild buttery taste that makes it a popular table cheese in Greece. Depending on the age, the color may be off-white to pale yellow and it can range from semi-soft to semi-hard. Young Kasseri cheese has a sweet and delicate flavor while the aged cheese can become salty.

Its piquant and slightly salty taste often earns it comparisons to cheddar cheese from the U.K., lending itself to the name, “cheddar cheese of the Balkans.” Kasseri cheese has a soft and stringy texture and it falls under the pasta filata cheese family along with Muenster and Provolone cheese.
