Kefalotyri is a drier hard cheese, while kasseri usually has a good melt factor and is a little oily/greasy when melting. This probably contributes to the greasiness most people observe. I am disappointed though there is no feta, but many frozen Greek pastries do not use good quality feta. Having had many pitas (spanakopitas, tiropitas (cheese pitas), etc), I think this one is pretty good actually. It is a bit greasy but to each his/her own. I would purchase this again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536124280546689457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-13741205215313361742016-02-03T09:34:47.027-05:002016-02-03T09:34:47.027-05:00We love it.

When I took it out of the oven (medium-browned like the pic), I poured several spoonfuls of grease out of the cooking dish. And put a paper towel under the ring as it cooled. <br /><br />It's not bad: pastry is flaky and cheese/pastry balance is good. the cheese isn't distinctive. I think it's easier to serve by unpeeling and tearing off sections of the roll, rather than cutting it as wedges (that will fall apart). And I recommend baking it on a wire rack, with a pan under it to catch the grease!stevenphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522753337306943820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-84482375338649410662015-07-28T10:34:07.375-04:002015-07-28T10:34:07.375-04:00It wasn't bad, but yeah, coulda been a lot bet...It wasn't bad, but yeah, coulda been a lot better.
