Myzithra

There are some cheeses that are practically made to grate into pastas or shred over soups. Myzithra is one of those cheeses. The product of Greek sheep's milk, myzithra looks a bit like an oversized snowball and has a salty, nutty texture that operates something like a wingman: it highlights the best qualities of everything it's mixed with. As a counterpoint to its flavors, myzithra and the dishes it goes into often do well with a nice, fruity red wine.
