Myzithra is a must in Greek cuisine. Our Italian neighbors eat Parmesan, we Greeks eat Myzithra hard cheese. The main difference: everyone in Germany knows Parmesan, but only true Greece fans know Myzithra. This hard cheese is a must-eat for real Greece connoisseurs! Its use in the kitchen is the same as Parmesan. Grate it over warm pasta and enjoy. This traditional hard cheese is made from 100% Greek whey, which comes from the production of goat and sheep hard cheese. The origin of this milk is also Messenia.
So don't panic, just give it a try and discover a Greek alternative to Parmesan.
