Home Dairy Cheese Kostarelos 12-Month Barrel-Aged Feta

Kostarelos 12-Month Barrel-Aged Feta

Kostarelos family feta is entirely handmade from beginning to end in the most traditional way possible. Cheesemakers cut the curd, place it in moulds, rotate it in beech barrels, then inspect and painstakingly care for each feta block as it ages over a twelve month period. Ageing feta for this length of time is difficult to achieve but done right it will develop an incredibly complex and long-lasting flavour. It is spicy but not overwhelming so. A rare treat and something that's hard to find, even in Greece!

Kostarelos, Markopoulo, Attica

The Kostarelos family started making cheese with milk from their own farms in 1937 to serve to guests at their tavern in Markopoulo. By the 1960s production had expanded, and they opened more dairy facilities, creating an integrated, structured production process, while still preserving their traditions. Three generations later, the Kostarelos family continue to collect milk from selected small farms and make cheese, yoghurt, rice puddings and other dairy products. Respect and dedication to tradition, along with the family's know-how in sourcing milk exclusively from small Greek farms, are the secrets to their success and the quality of their products. Their barrel-aged feta is considered one of the very best and few forget the experience of first trying their traditionally strained Greek yoghurt.
