A Greek cheese in CNN’s top choices in the world

It is not what you think it is...

Newsroom December 22 06:36
In its travel edition, CNN presents the best cheeses on the planet. Among them is a Greek cheese, and surprisingly, it is not the famed Feta.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that (almost) everyone loves cheese. And it’s a truth almost as universally acknowledged that Europe makes some of the best.
Here, there are thousand-year-old cheeses. There are cheeses invented centuries ago by monks, cheeses that make cameo appearances in classic literature, and cheeses given intentionally offputting names to encourage people to try them.
There are stinky cheeses, cheeses with added ash, cheeses made in stomach-churning ways, and some of the most expensive cheeses on the planet.
Everyone has their own favorite cheese, of course — but here are 22 of ours.

You know all about feta, of course; now it’s time to try a lesser-known Greek cheese. Metsovone hails from the remote north of the country, or more precisely, a mountain town called Metsovo. Made from cow’s milk, either on its own or mixed with a little sheep or goat, it’s semi-hard and naturally smoked. Like that other Greek staple, halloumi, it lends itself particularly well to grilling.
