This year Karoun Dairies is offering a tasty and healthy alternative to the usual Father’s Day swag, turning the focus to a new, fresh idea for delicious eating with the unforgettable Yanni Grilling Cheeses, in original recipe and with jalapleno.

What better gift for Dad than a nod to his health and eating enjoyment. Yanni Grilling Cheeses are a lower fat, high protein taste sensation made in the same, strict tradition and highest-quality standards as all of Karoun Dairies cheeses and yogurts. Karoun’s cheeses are natural and handmade at their state-of-the-art California facility, strictly using only milk from cows that are free from growth hormones, BGH/rBST, and are Real California Milk certified.

Yanni Grilling Cheese is a traditional semi-firm Mediterranean cheese, with a distinctive layered texture that is mildly salty with a rich buttery taste. Karoun’s Yanni Grilling Cheeses can withstand a tremendous amount of heat without melting, and will develop a delicious golden crust when grilled. Pan fry or serve right off the grill with sliced summer tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil and fresh oregano for the perfect appetizer, or serve as a protein for a vegetarian meal.

Fresh, healthy and uniquely delicious, Karoun’s Yanni Grilling Cheeses make the perfect gift for a healthy and tasty Father’s Day feast.
