8Kopanisti – Spicy Cheese of the Cyclades
Kopanisti is a traditional spicy cheese produced mainly in the Cyclades islands, including Mykonos and Tinos. Made from sheep’s or goat’s milk, this cheese undergoes a fermentation process that gives it a strong, peppery flavor.
It is often served as a meze, spread on bread or paired with tomatoes and olives. Kopanisti’s bold taste makes it a favorite among those who enjoy strong cheeses, and it pairs wonderfully with a glass of ouzo or local wine.
