Metsovone cheese is a traditional Greek cheese originating from the mountainous region of Metsovo. It is made from a blend of sheep's and goat's milk, giving it a rich and creamy texture. The cheese is typically smoked, which adds a distinct flavor and aroma, making it popular in various culinary applications. This semi-hard cheese is often enjoyed on its own, in salads, or melted in dishes. Metsovone has a yellowish-brown rind and a pale interior, with a slightly tangy taste that intensifies with aging. It is a key part of Greek gastronomy and is celebrated for its unique characteristics.
