Why Use Metsovone Cheese?

Metsovone is a delicious semi-hard cheese that originates from the northern Greek region of Metsovo. It is made from pasteurized cow’s milk and is similar to smoked provolone cheese.

It has a distinctive smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the cooked pork in this recipe.

If you cannot find Metsovone cheese in your local grocery store, you can substitute it with smoked provolone, smoked gouda or even cheddar cheese.
