What it is
Anammatista is a traditional Cypriot fresh goat or sheep cheese, similar to halloumi but often softer and milder with a distinct creamy texture. When grilled, it forms a delicious, slightly crispy exterior with a melted, savory interior. It's naturally high in fat and protein, making it an excellent keto option.
