Why you’ll love it

• Bold Greek taste: tangy, savoury, and more characterful than standard white cheeses.

• Clean and honest: made with pasteurised goat’s milk and salt, nothing else.

How to use it

• Grated over trahanas, soups, or baked pasta dishes.
• In cubes for a Greek meze board with olives, tomatoes, and bread.
• Crumbled into fresh salads with cucumber, oregano, and olive oil.
• In pies such as cheese pies or spanakopita-style bakes.

Origin & quality

Tsantilas Goat Cheese is produced in Epirus, Greece, in the mountainous area of Souli, a region known for its pastoral heritage and high-quality goat’s milk. The cheese is made using fresh, pasteurised goat’s milk and follows a traditional cloth-bag method: after curdling, it is drained and shaped inside a fabric bag (“tsantila”), which gives the cheese its distinctive form and helps define its texture.

This slow, hands-on process allows the cheese to mature naturally in brine, developing a firm yet crumbly structure and a pleasantly tangy, slightly spicy flavour. Produced without additives or preservatives and vacuum sealed for freshness, Tsantilas reflects the authentic cheesemaking tradition of Epirus — simple ingredients, time-tested methods, and uncompromising quality.

What to pair it with

• Extra virgin olive oil — to dress salads and meze the Greek way.
• Kalamata olives — a classic salty contrast.
• Greek thyme honey — for a sweet-savoury cheese board.
• Greek rusks or pita — perfect for easy appetisers.
