Tositsa Foundation Rezzana
The Tositsa Foundation was created to teach Italian cheesemaking methods to Greek shepherds and cheesemakers. Since its founding in 1959 they have followed the traditional Parmesan production method to produce their own ‘Rezzana’ with cow’s milk from the Metsovo region. Faithful to the original, Rezzana has a rich, tangy, and nutty flavour and hard, crumbly texture that can be flaked, shaved, or grated.

Tositsa Foundation, Metsovo, Epirus
The Foundation of Baron Michael Tositsa was established in Metsovo in 1955 to preserve the cultural traditions of the area. It was the vision of Evangelos Averof-Tositsa, who wanted to open a cowshed and exemplary dairy to operate as a cheesemaking school. He sent some of the farmers' families to Italy to study cheesemaking techniques there, and as a result, the foundation combined traditional Italian cheesemaking practices with Greek recipes. The foundation still produces many cheeses in small quantities, using exclusively local milk and traditional methods and are famous for their smoked metsovone.
