Manouri is a fresh, semi- soft cheese, which is solid and cylindrically- shaped without crust or holes.  White in color, with a rich and creamy flavor and slightly  milkly sweet taste, it is ideal for toasts, sandwiches and crepe fillings.  It is a Protected Designation of Origin product and made in Thessaly, as well as Central and Western Macedonia. Manouri is a characteristic type of thick myzithra cheese produced by heating sheep or goat whey, or a blend, and then adding sheep or goat’s milk or richer cream.
