Sheep Milk Kashkaval by Madjarov is a premium Bulgarian yellow cheese made from 100% sheep's milk, crafted to the highest Bulgarian dairy standard (BDS). Kashkaval is one of the most iconic cheeses of the Balkans and Eastern Europe — a semi-hard, stretched-curd cheese with a smooth, elastic texture and a rich, distinctive character.

Sheep's milk gives this kashkaval a fuller, richer, and more aromatic flavour compared to cow's milk varieties — with a characteristic warmth and depth that is deeply rooted in Balkan cheese tradition. Particularly appreciated by chefs and cheese connoisseurs who value intensity and complexity.

Crafted using traditional methods that have been passed down for generations — the milk is gently heated, the curd stretched and kneaded, then formed into wheels and matured to develop the signature golden rind and complex flavour profile.

Flavour & texture

Rich, full-bodied, and aromatic with a smooth, elastic texture. The sheep's milk lends a characteristic warmth and depth — more intense than cow's milk kashkaval, with a pleasant natural sweetness and lingering finish. The rind is firm and golden-yellow. Flavour deepens with age.

Professional use

• Restaurants & catering — ideal for cheese boards, grilling (kashkaval pane), melting over dishes, and cooked preparations
• Hotels & wineries — a premium addition to welcome platters and wine pairings
• Cheese counters & delicatessens — sold by weight directly from the wheel

Pairing suggestions

Pairs beautifully with full-bodied red wines, Bulgarian Mavrud or Melnik, as well as with honey, walnuts, fresh bread, and cured meats. Excellent grilled or melted.

Ingredients

Sheep's milk, rennet, starter culture, salt.
