Mastelo® is one of the most famous products of Chios. Those who love it persistently look for it under the name 'mastelo' but this cow's cheese officially belongs to the category of soft cheeses.
The soft cheese Mastelo® made from cow's milk is the most sought after and the most loved. It is delicious raw but, topped off deliciously grilled. That is why there is no visitor who has not tasted Mastelo® grilled cheese in the taverns and restaurants of Chios.
Give character to your dishes, wrap it in foil, try it as a snack or even better, prefer it grilled, with sweet and sour marmalade, pomegranate syrup, balsamic cream or chantey.
Because of its consistency, Mastelo® soft cheese, when grilled, brings out its characteristic milky taste. But the most impressive thing is that it does not melt, acquiring a chewy texture without losing its shape. It can be quickly and easily grilled on a grill or non-stick pan.
Inspired by the Cypriot halloumi, grill cheese is a white, semi-hard cheese for grilling made from a mixture of cow's, sheep's and goat's milk with the characteristic mint aroma, ideal for pancakes.
