Baladinos Cretan Graviera

For four generations, the Baladinos family has crafted this Graviera the traditional Cretan way — collecting fresh sheep's and goat's milk daily from the mountain pastures of Chania and Rethymno.

The result is a bold, full-bodied hard cheese with a rich, slightly piquant character that is deeper and more assertive than its Cycladic counterparts. Aged to develop intensity and a firm golden rind, it has earned a Gold Taste Award across Greece — a recognition that confirms what Cretan shepherds have always known.

Exceptional grated over pasta, melted into a toasted sandwich, or served as the star of a traditional Cretan meze platter.
