The next step was taken in 2018 with the establishment and recognition of the Organisation of Producers in the area of sheep and goat milk, by 28 professional livestock farmers. Every year, the organisation of producers collects more than 550 tons of sheep and goat milk from the local sheep breed of Mytilene, which feeds mainly on rich Lesvos flora.
The organisation of producers continues to invest in the modernisation of its activities and in the promotion of innovation based on the principle of producing the famous cheese products of Lesvos at the privately-owned cheese dairy.

SUGGESTION
Traditional Greek hard cheese with Protected Designation of Origin, which is produced exclusively on Mytilene from sheep milk or its mixture with goat milk. It has a unique cylindrical shape and weighs approximately 1 kilogram. It is left to age for at least three months in cellars and cool chambers.
It is also known as ‘kefalaki’ (meaning ‘small head’ in Greek). In the past, people preserved the cheese in olive oil, which is why it is called ‘ladotyri’ (meaning ‘oil cheese’ in Greek).
