Ladotyri Mytilinis PDO - 240g

About the product: Ladotyri Mytilinis is a hard table cheese produced with sheep's milk or with a mixture with goat's milk, the amount of which should not exceed 30%. It is produced only on the island of Lesbos, in the Prefecture of Lesbos in the Northern Aegean Islands.

It is made in special cylindrical moulds that provide the cheese with a characteristic shape. This pale yellow cheese is very salty and slightly spicy and exudes a distinctive fragrant aroma of sheep milk. After the maturation, the common practice is to preserve Ladotyri Mytilinis in olive oil or cover it with paraffin wax.

In fact, Ladotyri even translates to 'the cheese preserved in oil'. This cheese is very famous in the area of its production, but in the whole of Greece, as well, although it is one of the rarest cheeses available on the market.
