Sheftalia

Sheftalia is a traditional Cypriot sausage made from ground lamb or beef mixed with herbs, onions, and spices. The filling is wrapped in small, thin layers of pork or lamb fat, shaped into mini sausages, and grilled until cooked through. They are typically served as part of Cypriot meals, often with pita bread, vegetables, or salads, and are valued for their flavorful, savory taste and tender texture. Sheftalia embodies Cypriot culinary traditions and showcases the region’s use of fresh ingredients and aromatic seasonings.
