Useful Information

With a light taste and high nutritional value, it brings the cheese tradition of Elassona directly to the table! "Tsantila" is a a type of a thin fabric bag hanging from the top that drains any excess whey or water through it, giving the feta a more distinct taste. This method although time-consuming, is absolutely rewarding when it comes to flavor and the whole sensory experience. It is characterized with a semi-hard texture and by a slightly spicy and pleasantly sour aftertaste.

Elassona combines the imposing landscape of Mt Olympus with monuments of exceptional cultural beauty and natural borders between the old and new town. The quality characteristics of Arvaniti dairy products are due to the particular soil and climate conditions of that mountainous area, with rich vegetation and a wide variety of plants, many of them aromatic. The animals that graze the areas of Elassona consume a wide variety of grasses, herbs and plants that positively impacts the taste and quality of their milk. Additionally, the antioxidant substances in many aromatic plants give a special aroma to the milk.
