Dodoni Kefalotyri is a traditional Greek cheese produced by Dodoni SA, a well-known dairy company based in Epirus, Greece. Kefalotyri by Dodoni is characterized by its hard texture and salty, tangy flavor, making it suitable for grating over dishes.
It is typically made from sheep's milk, or a mixture of sheep and goat milk, adhering to age-old cheese-making practices. The cheese is aged for several months to develop its distinct sharp taste and dry consistency, which pairs beautifully with pasta, salads, and as a saganaki when fried.
