In both cases, this yellow cheese has a smooth, fine texture and a slightly tangy and nutty flavor with a hint of olive oil.
Kashkaval may be used as part of a cheese platter, or grated into pasta, salads or pizzas.
If not available, Kashkaval can be substituted with Caciocavallo, hard Parmesan or Provolone
