Kefalotyri

Kefalotyri is a classic Swiss alpine cheese known for its nutty, slightly sweet flavor and excellent melting properties — frequently used in fondue, gratins and sandwiches. It is a nutrient-dense dairy food and a particularly rich source of calcium (1011mg per 100g), making it useful for bone health. Kefalotyri also supplies high-quality protein and vitamin B12, but it is relatively high in saturated fat, so moderate portions are advised as part of a balanced diet.
