Product Description
This type of cheese has a slightly salty and sourish taste. It is made exclusively from goats' milk produced by free-range animals. The special taste of the animals' milk and the unique character of the produced cheese is due to the flora that grows on Lemnos and the island's microclimate, which is strongly affected by the sea breeze. Combine the "Hrysafis" feta cheese to all Greek food cooked with olive oil. In addition, enjoy it together with a variety of cheeses beautifully arranged on a platter, in various types of omelettes or with freshly baked, hand-kneaded bread.
