Cretan Gruyere is one of the most popular cheeses in Crete. It is known for its excellent quality, the traditional way of its production, its pure ingredients and its unique pleasant taste.
The Cretan Gruyere is characterized as a hard table cheese and it is a symbol of the traditional Cretan diet with a huge production history on our island which goes back through centuries.
Its colour is light yellow or slightly white with small round holes and natural skin and it has a particularly pleasant subtle and slightly brackish flavour with a rich aroma.
The Cretan Gruyere can be consumed on its own, with bread, with plain or barley rusks, with salads, sandwiches or honey and it generally accompanies all kinds of food on our table
