Family dairy at Kaliani, 700 m up in mountain Corinthia, making cheese since 1936: barrel-aged PDO feta, graviera, zireiotyri, anthotyro and mizithra, sold at a shop beside the plant.
Cheeses: Feta, Graviera, Zireiotyri, Anthotyro, Mizithra

An aged graviera is hard, rich and slightly sweet. Its fat and salt soften the tannins of a barrel-aged Nemea Agiorgitiko, and its sweetness sits well with the wine's ripe fruit and the spice the oak brings.
Zireiotyri is hard, salty and lightly spicy, ripened at least three months. An Agiorgitiko raised without barrels keeps oak out of the way, so the wine's fruit meets the salt and spice directly.
Fresh mizithra is soft, snow-white, creamy and almost sweet. A dry, aromatic Moschofilero with high acidity lifts the milky curd without covering it, and with the salted, grated kind the acidity cuts the salt.
