Ksinomyzithra cheese

Ksinomysthira, a traditional fresh cheese, is found in every corner of Greece.  It is a white cheese with a paste-like, grainy texture and without shape or crust. It is made from sheep and goat’s milk and also from cow’s milk. The famed variety on the island of Naxos has a Chantilly cream consistency with the slightly sour taste of yoghurt. Variations with different names are common on many of the Cycladic islands, such as the ‘souroto’ of Sifnos, ’chlorio’ of Santorini and the ‘chlorotyri’ of Andros.
