Learn About the History of Greek Cheese

Do you want to learn about the history of Greek cheese? Cheese-making in Greece dates back thousands of years — even mentioned in Homer's Odyssey. Crafted by shepherds and farmers using age-old methods and traditional recipes, Greek cheeses are more than just a portion of great food: they are a symbol of Greek culture and resilience. Today, this rich heritage continues with a wide range of popular Greek cheese varieties still being made following traditional recipes.

Discover Popular Greek Cheese Varieties

Among the most popular Greek cheeses, it's easy to find soft and hard types, offering unique flavors to suit every taste. Let's explore some of the must-try Greek cheese varieties you should consider adding to your table:

  • Graviera: A semi-hard cheese with a sweet, nutty taste. Graviera is one of the most beloved cheeses in Greece, perfect for melting, grilling, or enjoying on its own with a glass of wine as aperitive.
  • Kefalotyri: A hard, salty cheese made from sheep or goat’s milk. Kefalotyri is ideal for grating over pasta or frying to create the famous Greek appetizer, Saganaki.
  • Feta cheese: The most famous of all Greek cheeses, known for its crumbly texture and tangy flavor. Made from sheep’s milk, sometimes blended with goat’s milk, Feta is the star of Greek salads and countless Mediterranean dishes.
  • Anthotyro and Manouri: Softer and milder cheeses, perfect for spreading or using in Mediterranean desserts.

Why Greek Cheese Is Unique

What makes Greek cheese truly special? It's the combination of pure, local milk — often from free-grazing sheep and goats — combined with time-honored traditions that focus on quality over quantity. Greek cheeses are naturally rich in healthy nutrients and full of authentic flavors that reflect the land and sea of Greece. When you choose real Greek cheeses, you are tasting centuries of tradition and craftsmanship.

How to Enjoy Greek Cheese at Home

Looking to bring a piece of Greece to your kitchen? Here's how you can enjoy these amazing cheeses at home:

  • Greek Meze Platter: Combine Graviera, Kefalotyri, and Feta with olives, tomatoes, and pita bread.
  • Cooking Inspiration: Use Kefalotyri for a delicious Saganaki, or crumble Feta over roasted vegetables and fresh salads.
