Bafas - Bafas Graviera With Truffle - 0,200 Kg

About the product

This is Graviera, Greece's well-known hard sheep and goat milk cheese, made here with the addition of 1.8% black summer truffle. The base cheese is produced from pasteurized sheep's and goat's milk with salt, rennet and aromatic and lactic acid cultures, then finished with truffle for a distinct aroma layered over the usual graviera profile. The flavor is slightly salty with a medium sweetness, and the truffle note stays in the background rather than dominating the cheese. Texture is creamy when young and firms up with age, in line with standard graviera ripening. This block is supplied at 0.200 kg.

About the company

Bafas is a family-owned dairy producer based in Arta, in the Epirus region of western Greece. The company's cheesemaking history goes back to 1967, when founder Spyros Bafas started producing small batches of traditional hard cheeses using knowledge from his livestock-farming family. What began as a small artisanal workshop grew into a modern dairy operation, including a new cheese factory built in 2000, while the company kept its working relationships with local milk producers in the mountainous Epirus area. The business is now run by the third generation of the Bafas family, combining modern production technology with traditional cheesemaking methods, and it has grown into one of the larger cheese producers in Greece. Bafas exports to more than 20 countries, including the United States, Egypt, France, Germany and Singapore.

Instructions

Graviera with truffle works as a table cheese and as a cooking ingredient. Serve it sliced on a cheese board with crackers and wine, or use it in cooking: sliced and melted over a burger, scattered on pizza before baking, or grilled with herbs. It can also be served raw, cut into wedges or shavings, to keep the truffle aroma more pronounced.
