This cheese is made in a mountainous region within a continental climate and from the milk of local breeds Grevenoiotika sheep and goats which are almost impossible to find outside of the region.

The Anevato has the distinction for a fresh cheese of being ripened for two months before it can be sold.

The affineur’s duty for this cheese is to ensure that the rind does not form when ripening.

Anevato Greek Cheese History

This phenomenal Greek cheese was first produced by local shepherds in western Macedonia. Nevertheless, it has since been produced in Greneva & the Kozani prefecture (particularly in the Voio area) for many years.

Initially, local shepherds would use thistle rennet to coagulate the goat’s milk early in the morning and allow the curd to rise during the day.

The daily actions by the hardworking shepherds is what ultimately gives Anevato its name which means ‘the cheese that rises’.

Anevato is often eating alone with a spoon.
