Cheese Farm Family Experience (Feb. 23)

from €20.00

Syros has a proud and delicious tradition in agriculture and cheese-making. At the heart of this legacy is the iconic San Michali cheese—one of Greece’s most renowned Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) products.

San Michali cheese is crafted with precision using the pasteurized milk of Syros' cows, who graze on the aromatic herbs flourishing in the island's arid soil, lending their milk unique flavors. The cheese-making tradition of Syros dates back centuries, with Italian dairy cows introduced in 1500 AD sparking a rich culture of dairy production that continues to this day.

On this unforgettable experience, you’ll visit the Tyrosyra farm and discover the authentic flavors and traditions of Syros agriculture.

  • Explore the Greenhouse: Begin with a tour of the lush vegetable fields, learning about cultivation techniques and gathering fresh produce.

  • Meet the Cows: Visit the farm’s cows, feed them hay, and hear about their role in producing Syros’ exceptional cheeses.

  • Cheese Tasting: Indulge in a platter of local specialties, including San Michali, Fragosyriani, and Xynotyro cheeses.

  • Make Your Own Cheese: End your tour by crafting your own fresh cheese, blending it with aromatic herbs. Take your personalized creation home as a delicious souvenir.

This hands-on, family-friendly experience offers a unique taste of Syros’ agricultural heritage and culinary excellence. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature, tradition, and delicious flavors!
