Kalatháki Límnou

'Basket' cheese from Límnos, made mostly from the milk of free range sheep and sometimes goats. After the milk is curdled, it is pressed into moulds that give the cheese its name, then matured in brine for two months.

No one knows how ancient it is, although it fairly matches Homer's description of cheese-making in the Odyssey. It's a bit spicier than Feta and often used as a table cheese with fruit. Designated PDO (ΠΟΠ).
