Kopanisti

Kopanisti is traditional Greek cheese with Controlled Denomination of Origin (DOC) which is exclusively manufactured in Cyclades islands from ewe's, cow's or goat's milk or mixtures.

The main characteristics of Kopanisti are the intense salty and piquant taste and the soft texture and rich flavour which approaches that of Roquefort. It is consumed as table cheese, in cheese-pastries and as a snack with wine and ouzo.

The mean composition of Kopanisti is: moisture 60.2%, fat 19.4%, protein 16.7%, salt 3% and pH 4.6.
