Stathori Dairy

The journey of our business began in 1986 with a passion for tradition and quality. It started as a small livestock farm and a traditional dairy, following the graduation of our founder, Ioannis Stathoris, from the renowned Dairy School of Ioannina.

In 2005, we took a bold step forward, transforming our traditional dairy into a state-of-the-art production and distribution facility for premium dairy products. While we embraced modern technology and strict hygiene regulations in line with national and European standards, we never compromised on what matters most—authenticity and tradition.

By 2008, our commitment to excellence was recognized with the certification of our Food Safety Management System under the ISO 22000 standard, ensuring the highest quality in every product we create.

Our milk is sourced from free-grazing herds in the pristine pastures of Northern Halkidiki, far from industrial areas and close to the sacred land of Mount Athos. For years, we have had the honor of supplying the Athonite Monasteries with our pure, artisanal products. Guided by the wisdom and discerning taste of the monks, we continuously refine our craft, staying true to our heritage while striving for perfection every single day.

Tour and Tasting

Our dairy facility has been awarded the first official “Visit-Friendly Dairy” certification in Greece, following the decision of the Ministry of Tourism. 

Visitors now have the opportunity to tour our dairy and witness the production process live, from a specially designed viewing area that ensures the safety and integrity of production.

Guests can observe the entire journey—from the reception of fresh milk and the curdling process to the final creation of our cheeses. The tour includes a presentation of our dairy’s rich history, followed by an introduction to our full range of products. Finally, in our newly designed tasting area, visitors can savor our artisanal cheeses, including Petroto, Aristotelion, Athonitiko, Mikrasiatika, Graviera Ierissou, Graviera with oregano, Graviera Akanthos, Elaitiria, Agiotyri, Agiotyri smoked, and Anthotyro.
