Light, creamy, and delicately salty, Mizithra is a traditional Greek whey cheese prized for its soft texture and fresh, milky flavor. Younger mizithra is smooth and mild, while aged mizithra develops a firmer texture and rich savory depth perfect for grating over pasta and warm dishes.
Perfect enjoyed:
over buttered pasta
with olive oil and herbs
alongside fresh fruit and honey
crumbled into pastries
on mezze boards and Mediterranean spreads
