Summary/Abstract: After the Spanish Reconquista, Inquisition and exile of Jews from Spain and Portugal (1492-1496) many of the Sephardi-Jews came to the Dalmatian coast. Sultan Bajazit II opened the doors of Ottoman Empire to Jews inviting them to live proudly in his Empire. Spanish Jews settled in Bulgaria after 1949 in the cities where the Jews have already lived. Sephardi brought with them the production of the yellow cheese called cache yall, which became very popular in Bulgaria as Kaskaval.
