Kritiki GravieraCretan Sheep & Goat Gruyère (P.D.O.) - "Kalogeraki"

Always Creating With Love & Care…

It all started back in 1949 with the active & resourceful grandfather Emmanouil Kalogerakis. Together with his son, Evangelos, they start running the “Kalogeraki Dairy Industry”, the first cheese factory in the village Smari, at Kasteli Pediados. At Crete, an island blessed with rich soil & a wonderful climate, farming is processed in a purely traditional way & provides “Kalogeraki Dairy Industry” with pure raw materials. In this way, they ensure that they collect daily the freshest sheep/goat milk, which gives the Cretan cheese the characteristic wild taste & is part of their power. Αdding their love & passion to the recipe, they manage to create authentic cheese products of the most luscious flavour for you.

“Kritiki Graviera” is considered to be one of the most popular kinds of cheese in Greece & the symbol of the “Cretan Diet”. Graviera Kalogeraki is famous for its excellent quality & uniquely pleasant taste. It is traditionally prepared with fresh sheep & goat milk & matures for at least 3 months. It is characterized as a very light, yellow-coloured table cheese with asymmetric holes. It has a particularly pleasant, sweetish & slightly brackish taste with a rich fresh milk aroma.
