Cheese Like No Other: The Art of Making Myzithra and More
Cheese-making is a cornerstone of Cretan cuisine, and myzithra is one of its most iconic creations. This soft cheese, made from fresh milk, is crafted with care and dedication. At Veggera, we make myzithra live during our tours, giving you a chance to witness this timeless process.
Myzithra is incredibly versatile, enhancing dishes like kalitsounia, salads, and dakos with its creamy texture and mild flavor. It represents the simplicity and richness of Cretan gastronomy, a testament to the island’s deep culinary roots.
