Kritiki Graviera Makras OrimansisLong-Matured Cretan 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.
