mizithra
Mizithra is a traditional Greek cheese made from sheep's milk or a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. It is known for its crumbly texture and slightly tangy flavor. Mizithra can be found in two forms: fresh and aged. The fresh version is soft and creamy, while the aged variety is hard and often grated over dishes.
This cheese is commonly used in various Greek recipes, including pasta and salads. It is particularly popular in dishes like spaghetti with mizithra cheese and brown butter. Mizithra is also enjoyed on its own or paired with fruits and nuts for a simple snack.
