Strange Cheeses from Mysterious Greek Islands


Listen Later

Volcanoes...

Ancient sacred rituals...

Cheese matured at the bottom of wine barrels. Cheese steeped in olive oil for months. Today's adventure in the eastern Aegean islands of Greece, is an unusual one.

The islands have their own unique, unusual and tasty cheeses that defy specific categorizations.

Greece. Cheese.

What can possibly else be said?


Enjoy today's adventure!
