Holidays in Skopelos cannot be complete without tasting grilled feta, the famous Greek cheese.

It is not by chance that feta is so popular in Greece and all around the world. Its distinctive taste is shaped by a mix of sheep’s and goat’s milk.

It is perfectly combined with vegetables and side dishes yet you will often see the locals enjoy it with a slice of bread at breakfast, at lunch and even at dinner! It is the perfect snack that fills you up and allows you to enjoy a distinctive Mediterranean taste.

Take a look on how we make grilled feta and enjoy your holidays in Skopelos with a traditional twist!

• We cut large slices of the best Greek feta cheese and grill it in medium heat for about 3 minutes.
• We place in on a platter and add some extra virgin olive oil, a bit of brown sugar, some lemon juice and black pepper.
• To accentuate the feta experience we make a spearmint sauce by mixing in a bowl some extra virgin olive oil, white balsamic, fresh onions and spearmint.
• We add the sauce to the side of the feta and serve.

Tasting grilled feta is an experience you should not miss out on. Its distinctive taste will surprise you at first if you are not familiar with it, yet it will definitely win you over if you taste it in a restaurant where they truly appreciate its value.
