Kopanisti

Kopanisti (Greek: Κοπανιστή) is a salty, spicy cheese, with protected designation of origin (PDO)[3][4] produced in the Greek islands of the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea such as Mykonos, Tinos, Andros, Syros, Naxos etc.[5] It owes its special peppery and spicy taste to rapid and extensive lipolysis and proteolysis caused by abundant microbial growth encouraged by repeated kneadings performed during the ripening process.[14] Then the mixture is wrapped in cotton cloth and placed in a cooking pot with a stone placed on top of the cheese.It is then again mixed and put in containers (traditionally earthenware) to complete its aging, which can take between one and two months.[16] The most popular way of serving is in a dish called "mostra" which contains dry bread with kopanisti cheese, chopped tomatoes and olive oil.
