Ladotyri 2.5 lb

Special order. 2-week lead time.

One of the best-known and most treasured specialty regional cheeses is Ladotyri, which literally means “oil cheese.” It is produced in two places in Greece: Lesvos (sometimes called Mytillene after the island’s capital) in the northeastern Aegean and Zakynthos in the Ionian. Although the cheeses share the same name, in texture, flavor, color, and more they are quite different. The better-known oil cheese, and certainly the one more commercially available and distinguished as a protected designation of origin product is the ladotyri of Lesvos (Mytillene).
