Useful Information
Useful Information
Anthotyro is a traditional fresh Greek whey cheese prepared from unpasteurized sheep’s and goat's milk or a mix of both. The name “flower cheese” likely derives from its floral aromas of wild herbs. This cheese has been produced for centuries in many regions like Thrace, Thessalia, the Peloponnese, the Ionian Islands, Epirus and Crete. The texture is crumbly and its taste deliciously tangy and salty.
There are two types of Anthotyro cheese: dry and fresh. Fresh is softer with a light, creamy taste that can be consumed raw or in sweet dishes. Dry Anthotyro has a harder and dry structure with a salty taste and a powerful smell. The dry variant is usually used in grated form over spaghetti.
