Fresh Xinotiri Of Naxos
Soft white cheese made from fresh whole pasteurized cow’s milk, with a spreadable texture and a slightly acidic taste. It is a cheese that has always been made in the Cyclades known as xinomyzithra and is used in many recipes, for making cheese salad, as a table cheese (usually with a little oil, pepper or oregano), and for making pies. Ideal for summer salads, with a cool aftertaste and unique for cheese mousse.
About Producer
A family business whose roots go back to 1970 when Manolis Pittaras bought a calf for his children to drink milk. The family’s love for animals made this farm become the largest cow’s milk production unit located on an island. Starting with love and a full sense of responsibility from sowing the seeds for the production of the feed to harvesting it, feeding the animals exclusively from non-GMO feed, milking and transporting the milk to the dairy, since 2009 in Melanes of Naxos, the Pittaras Cheese Factory has been creating fine traditional products, made from fresh cow’s milk that comes exclusively from the privately owned farm.
