Ladotyri PDO from Lesbos – Greek Cheese Aged in Olive Oil (250g)

Ladotyri PDO from Lesbos is one of Greece’s most distinctive and character-driven cheeses. Produced exclusively on the island of Lesbos (Mytilene), it is made from a traditional blend of sheep’s milk (minimum 70%) and goat’s milk, following strict Protected Designation of Origin specifications.

After a minimum ageing period of 3 months, the cheese is preserved in olive oil, an ancient Greek technique that both protects the cheese and enhances its flavour. This process gives Ladotyri its unmistakable identity: a hard, compact texture and a bold, savoury, slightly spicy flavour, deeply rooted in Mediterranean tradition.

The result is a cheese with real personality — intense, aromatic, and persistent — designed for those who appreciate authentic Greek food culture. Ladotyri is not meant to be neutral or polite. It is meant to stand out, especially when paired with wine and shared as part of a mezé experience.
