About White Cheese in Brine
A Greek cheese produced under EU dairy hygiene rules and shipped in temperature-logged reefers, with maturation age stated on the specification for every production lot.
Flavour and character. Milder and less salty than Feta, with a smoother, firmer body. Fresh milk collection, controlled curd work and maturation to the agreed minimum age.
Who it suits. Markets where price positioning matters more than the PDO name, and non-EU markets without naming restrictions. Chilled export to the EU and UK, reefer sea freight to the GCC, North America and Asia.
