Wine Cheese
Award winning
The award-winning Krasotyri (Wine Cheese) of Yiannou Company, the only P.G.I (protected geographical indication) cheese product in the Dodecanese, is produced exclusively by Yiannou Company and has a history that dates back to antiquity. Kos P.G.I Krasotyri is made exclusively from goat’s milk from the island of Kos and is matured in wine – “possa”!
Until recently, Wine Cheese (krasotyri), other wise known as “the diamond of Kos island”, was almost unknown to the vast majority of Greeks. With great effort the Yiannou company has managed to establish its wine-cheese as one of the most in-demand cheeses, intriguing those seeking new and “hard to find” flavors.
Wine-cheese matures in brine, enriched with the dregs of local wine and it acquires a crust that keeps it hard even in its package. The result of this technique gives the cheese a subtle wine flavor. It is one of the world’s most fine and rare delicacies, traditionally produced only on Kos island. This cheese is highly recommended with watermelon.
