With cheese
Feta
Our pick Feta is a salty, crumbly cheese ripened in brine. The high acidity of a dry Santorini Assyrtiko refreshes against the salt and cuts the fat, and the cheese in turn softens the wine's sharp edge.
Chloro of Santorini
Our pick Young chloro is a fresh, soft and mildly salty cheese, often scented with coriander. A dry Santorini Assyrtiko of medium body has the high acidity to keep the creamy paste lively and to rinse the salt between bites.
