Red cherry peppers, selected for their firm flesh and balanced heat, are filled with a \u003cstrong\u003emizithra-based cheese blend\u003c\/strong\u003e — traditional Greek whey cheese mixed with yogurt and pepper — then finished with olive oil, olives, and a gentle vinegar note that lifts the whole bite. \u003cstrong\u003ePaltsidis\u003c\/strong\u003e has been making these and other meze classics in Thessaloniki since 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavour is tangy and savoury, with the natural sweetness of red cherry pepper meeting the mild, slightly creamy richness of mizithra. The filling holds its shape and does not overpower the pepper. The vinegar is present but restrained — this is not a sharp pickle; it is a rounded, layered antipasto that works equally well straight from the jar, at room temperature on a board, or alongside other meze on a shared table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMizithra is one of Greece's oldest cheeses, made from whey and whole milk — lighter than feta, milder than aged cheeses, with a texture that combines well with pepper and yogurt without breaking down. It is the right filling for a stuffed pepper: soft enough to fill cleanly, flavourful enough to carry the bite. \u003cem\u003ePaltsidis chose it deliberately.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAntipasto and meze board opener:\u003c\/strong\u003e serve at room temperature alongside cured meats, olives, and aged cheese — the tangy-savoury note balances richer elements on the board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandalone appetiser:\u003c\/strong\u003e two or three peppers on a small plate with good bread — a complete starter that takes no preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalad topping:\u003c\/strong\u003e halve the stuffed peppers and add to a Greek salad or grain bowl for a protein-rich, flavourful element that replaces a plain cheese crumble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePasta and grain pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e rough-chop and toss with orzo, couscous, or bulgur, a drizzle of EVOO, and fresh herbs — the pepper-cheese filling does the seasoning work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheese board accent:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ethe classic Thessaloniki move\u003c\/em\u003e — a few stuffed cherry peppers alongside a wedge of graviera or aged kefalotyri, with a glass of ouzo or dry white wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paltsidis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54557693378883,"sku":"CHERRPALT200","price":17.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7683\/4722\/files\/paltsidis-stuffed-cherry-peppers-with-mizithra-a-greek-antipasti-classic-200g-4647060.png?v=1782122119","url":"https:\/\/www.greekflavours.com\/en-us\/products\/stuffed-cherry-peppers-cheese-paltsidis-200g","provider":"Greek Flavours","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
