8Ladotyri from Mytilene

Ladotyri, meaning “oil cheese,” is a distinctive cheese from Mytilene (Lesbos), matured in olive oil, which lends it a unique flavor and texture. 

This hard cheese, made from sheep’s or goat’s milk, has a sharp, tangy profile and is often enjoyed as part of a meze platter, grated over pasta, or simply savored with a slice of warm bread and a glass of ouzo, embodying the spirited culinary traditions of Lesbos.
