San Michali cheese

San Michali cheese

San Michali is a ΠΟΠ (POP) cows' milk cheese from the island of Syros in the Cyclades prefecture. This hard traditional cheese has been produced on Syros for the last 40-50 years and is highly-esteemed by consumers. It is made using traditional technology and ripened in installations within the defined geographical area.

The milk is partially skimmed, pasteurised and coagulated at 32-34 degrees. The cheese curd is then divided into pieces, reheated to 48-50 degrees, lightly salted, transferred to moulds and strongly pressed. It is then salted by immersion in brine held at 10-14 degrees and at a density of 18-20% for about 12 days. After this it is kept in ripening rooms at a temperature of 14-16 degrees and a relative humidity of 85% for not less than 4 months.

The milk used for the cheese comes from cows kept on the island of Syros. The animals are totally adapted to the environment and their diet is based on the available flora.
