Legend has it that the Greek gods sent the son of Apollo Aristeus, to teach the Greeks how to make cheese. Nature, a fusion of ideas and generations of experience did the rest.

Cyprus has a unique combination of climate, aromatic vegetation, an ideal sheep and goat grazing habitat and abundant natural salt reserves. Blend this with the recipes, techniques and experience of generations of master cheese makers, to create a classical tradition that now produces today’s world famous Cypriot cheese.

Since those ancient times a fusion of different cultures with their own ideas and techniques has enabled the traditional Cypriot cheese maker to continuously add to his craft.
