Performance Foodservice proudly presents Mediterranean Kefalograviera Cheese Quarter Wheels to our Zebec® brand portfolio.

Kefalograviera Cheese (pronounced keh-fahlo- grahv[1]YAIR-ah) is a standout addition to any foodservice offering, bringing rich, savory flavor and a versatile texture that enhances a variety of dishes. This Greek cheese, made from sheep’s milk or a blend of sheep and goat’s milk, is known for its firm, slightly crumbly texture and a distinctively nutty, salty taste. It’s perfect for adding depth to recipes or serving on its own as a flavorful appetizer. It’s sometimes referred to as a hybrid between Kefalotyri and Graviera cheeses, combining the best qualities of both.

When introducing customers to Kefalograviera, emphasize its culinary adaptability. Highlight its role in traditional Greek dishes like Saganaki, where it’s pan-fried to create a crispy, golden crust with a gooey, melty interior. Suggest using it grated over pasta, roasted vegetables, salads, or even in gourmet sandwiches to offer a unique twist on classic dishes. For customers unfamiliar with Kefalograviera, compare it to more mainstream cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, which share similar salty, umami-rich profiles and can be used in many of the same applications.

Fun fact: Kefalograviera is the second most popular Greek cheese, just behind Feta.
