Product Description: Imagine yourself sitting at a table outside a white-washed taverna with family and friends as you watch the sun setting over the Aegean Sea. You enjoy Manouri with fig spread, Graviera drizzled with Extra Virgin olive oil, and Kefalotyri served with rich Greek olives and beans. The essence of good Greek cuisine is it's simplicity. That is why igourmet's Greek cheeses are all made by artisans. The sheep and goats that yield the milk are from free-ranging herds, foraging from over two dozen grasses and wild herbs. You can really taste the difference! This collection of cheeses includes:
Manouri: This is essentially a sheep's milk "cream cheese", made by adding sheep's milk cream to the whey from the feta production. Try some with Glazed Figs - it's fantastic.
Graviera: Made on the island of Crete from fresh milk of free-ranging sheep and goats, this aged Graviera is made during months when grasses and plants are green for a sweet flavor.
Kefalotyri: This traditional unpasteurized sheep's milk cheese has been produced in various regions of Greece since Byzantine times. A hard cheese, Kefalotyri is the first cheese to be produced at the start of each new milking season, ensuring that its milk was taken just after the lambs were weaned.
This assortment contains three 1/2 pound cheeses.
