(Γραβιέρα Νάξου)
This cheese has been produced on the island of Naxos in the Cyclades for at least a century. Graviera Naxou is made from pasteurised cow milk or a mixture of sheep milk and a maximum of 20% goat milk. It has a thin rind and a light yellow, compact interior filled with small holes. Graviera Naxou is a hard table cheese with a refreshing taste and light aroma.
It has a maximum moisture content of 38% and at least 40% fat content. The milk used for its production comes from breeds that are traditionally raised on the island, which feed on a diet of local plants and herbs that give their milk a unique flavor.
It can be sliced and served as an appetizer, fried and eaten as a snack, or grated over pasta.
