This Greek cheese is made from sheep's or goat's milk. It has a sharp, salty flavor and hard cheddarlike texture that's perfect for grating. An American version is made with cow's milk. The creamy gold-colored kasseri has a natural rind and is usually sold in blocks. It's delicious plain, grated over hot foods or used in cooking. Kasseri is the cheese used in the famous Greek dish saganaki, where it's sautéed in butter, sprinkled with lemon juice and sometimes flamed with brandy. See also cheese.
