Greek Manouri Parnassou

Item #: 8118

Manouri, produced in Thessaly and Macedonia, is an unusual whey cheese made with the addition of fresh sheep's cream to the whey left after the production of hard cheese or feta. Its texture is smooth, dense, and buttery. It is shaped into logs by the cloth bags in which the curd drains. Very lightly salted, it retains the sweetness of the fresh cream. A delicious instant dessert can be created by spreading honey or fruit jam on a thin Manouri round and topping with a few chopped walnuts, almonds, or pistachios.
