Manouri cheese

Manouri cheese is a Greek, rindless cheese made from sheep or goat milk. The smooth and milky texture makes it a good choice as a breakfast cheese served with honey.  The cheese is also used in traditional pastries such as spanakopita.  Try adding this cheese to your cheese board served with small squares of nut bread.

This cheese has a low-sodium content of about 0.8%.  The fat content is typically from 36 to 38%.

If you don't have manouri cheese then your best substitute options include:

• The easiest to find alternative is Greek Feta cheese which will be saltier.
• OR - Ricotta salata cheese which is similar but probably harder to find
• OR - Farmer's cheese will also work as a substitute
