Located in: Cheese, Greece
Manouri is a traditional ancient Greek cheese that is made from the whey of feta, blended with sheep's milk cream. In addition to being used in the traditional Greek delicacy spanakopita, this rindless log-shaped cheese is an exceptionally delicious eating cheese. With a moist, soft texture, Manouri is at first soft and buttery, followed by a uniquely lemony aftertaste.
  • Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.

I have been using Manouri in place of traditional ricotta salata which I find too salty. I course grate it on pasta, rice, salads and many other foods. I always have this cheese available at home.

Every time I have this I like it more. We mixed it with milk and used it as a spread, and it was wonderful. So many levels of flavor, it's really different.

Comments about Manouri:

There may be a cheece somewhere i would like better, but i haven't found it. Sometimes i feel
takeing it with my red wine which i love is a waste of good cheece. A little on top of tongue
and roof of mouth and slowly rubbing your tongue
around the cheece untill it melts, then start over
with another chunk, and then another and another.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Authentic Greek Cheese
By Waycoolmom1Verified Reviewer from USA on 4/3/2007
Pros:
Delicate, Mild flavor
Best Uses:
Grilled
Describe Yourself:
Foodie, Frequent Diner, Frequent Traveler, Health Conscious, Simple Tastes
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Manouri:

Manouri cheese is milder than feta and a bit softer. While living in central Greece for 2 years, this became one of my favorite appetizers: grilled manouri cheese with crusty bread. This item [...] is absolutely 100 percent authentic. Manouri cheese can also be eaten without grilling but grilling brings out the best flavor and softens the texture. Slice in half-inch slabs and grill. Then serve warm with special bread.
