Product Description

If you love Gamopilafo and the rich, creamy flavours of Crete, this is the missing ingredient in your kitchen.

 

Stakovoutiro, better known as Staka, is one of the most distinctive culinary treasures of Crete. It delivers an intense, buttery flavour with a deep, savoury profile that transforms simple dishes into authentic Cretan experiences.

 

Produced exclusively in Crete, Staka is made from sheep’s and goat’s milk, slowly worked to obtain a dense, velvety butter-cream with remarkable depth. Its texture is creamy yet structured, and its flavour is bold, comforting, and unmistakably traditional.

 

This is not a substitute ingredient; it’s the foundation of Gamopilafo, the iconic Cretan wedding rice dish, and a cornerstone of island cuisine. Rare outside Crete, Staka brings the soul of Cretan tavernas straight to your table.

 

How to use it

  • For Gamopilafo: use 2 or 3 tablespoons of Staka per 100 g of rice to achieve the authentic creamy texture.
  • For frying: ideal for meats, potatoes, eggs, or vegetables, adds depth and a rich aroma.
  • To spread: on warm pita or bread, also excellent with thyme honey for a sweet-savoury contrast.
