GRAVIERA FROM CRETE (FRESH CUT PER LB)

Graviera Kritis – Traditional Cretan Hard Cheese

Graviera Kritis is a beloved traditional Greek hard cheese produced on the island of Crete, where cheesemaking has been part of daily life for centuries. Made primarily from high-quality sheep’s milk, this cheese is carefully aged to develop its distinctive flavor and firm yet slightly crumbly texture.

Compared to other gravieras, Graviera Kritis is known for its richer, more savory profile, with subtle salty notes and a pleasantly earthy finish that reflects Crete’s rugged landscape and pastoral traditions. As it matures, its flavor becomes deeper and more complex while remaining balanced and smooth.

This versatile cheese is a staple in Cretan cuisine and is enjoyed both on its own and in cooking. It grates beautifully, melts well, and adds depth to warm dishes, while also shining on a cheese board paired with olives, bread, and olive oil.
