Kariki

Kariki cheese: Rare Greek delicacy maturing in pumpkins with natural blue fungus, resembling castelmagno, boasting creamy acidity and earthy notes.

One of the rarest and most special cheeses in Greece.
It matures in pumpkins (kariki) during which a natural fungus enters the cheese, making it one of the few naturally blue cheeses in Europe.

It looks amazingly like a castelmagno, in texture and appearance, as well as its taste. Velvet acidity with hints of lemon with a distinct creamy character. In the parts where the fungus has grown, the bouquet of perfumes becomes exuberant with the addition of earthy elements.
It is made from 100% cow’s milk from local cows in very small quantities.
