Baladinos Cretan Staka Butter | Stakovoutiro

Crafted since 1928 by the Baladinos family in Varipetro, Chania, this is the authentic stakovoutiro — pure Cretan butter oil slowly rendered from fresh goat and sheep milk collected daily from western Crete's mountain pastures.

It takes 20 kilograms of milk to produce a single kilogram, and the result is a deeply golden, intensely aromatic fat with a rich, slightly tangy character and a silky finish. ISO-certified and unchanged in method for nearly a century, it is the irreplaceable fat in Gamopilafo — the legendary Cretan wedding rice — and extraordinary in eggs, pasta, or simply spread raw on bread.
