About Graviera Cheese
Graviera is a hard cheese from Greece, traditionally made from either cow's or sheep's milk. The cheese is typically unpasteurized, which contributes to its rich flavor profile. Graviera is known for its nutty and sweet taste, making it a popular choice in Greek cuisine. Its firm texture allows it to be easily sliced, grated, or melted, making it versatile for cooking or enjoying on its own. This cheese is commonly associated with regions like Naxos and Crete, where it is often produced. Graviera's appealing flavor makes it a great addition to cheese boards or as a topping for dishes.
