Description
“Melanotyri” means “black cheese,” named for its dark outer color, which comes from the contact with grape dregs during aging.The cheese is aged in a barrel filled with the remnants of wine-making (dregs). This imparts a distinctive, earthy, and slightly boozy aroma to the cheese.It has a bold, tangy, and sharp taste with hints of the grape spirit. The texture is firm but can have a creamy, slightly crumbly bite, influenced by the maturation process.
