Syros has a huge tradition in agriculture and cheese making through the years. San Michali cheese is a big chapter in this tradition. San Michali is one of the most emblematic and exquisite cheeses in Greece and beyond. San Michalis is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheese crafted with meticulous care. It originates from the pasteurized milk of Syros' cows, sourced exclusively from handpicked herds on the island. These cows graze on the aromatic herbs thriving in the region's arid soil, infusing the milk with their distinctive flavours.
The island boasts a centuries-old cheese-making tradition. In 1500 AD, Italian dairy cows were brought, leading to Greece's first cow cheese. This sparked a rich culture of dairy production, renowned at home and abroad.
In 2013, a passionate and dedicated group of milk producers embarked on a mission to preserve the rich cheese-making traditions of Syros. Driven by deep knowledge, respect, and love for the local heritage, they established Tyrosyra. This esteemed artisanal cheese producer is committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and traditional values, crafting a diverse range of products using exclusively Syros' milk.
Fueled by an unwavering passion and a steadfast commitment to tradition, the skilled artisans at Tyrosyra continue to create cheeses with unmatched dedication. They honour the flame of creation, infusing each cheese with the essence of their ancestral craft.
Join us this Saturday at the Tyrosyra farm, where our enthusiastic friends eagerly await your arrival. Explore their bountiful vegetable fields as you learn about their cultivation techniques and even gather some vegetables firsthand. Immerse yourself in the island's rich cheese-making tradition, indulging in the opportunity to taste the exquisite cheeses crafted by Tyrosyra.
