Graviera Naxou POP (Protected Designation of Origin), aged for 12 months, is a distinguished Greek cheese produced by Nikolas Pittaras Creamery on the island of Naxos. This premium cheese is crafted from high-quality cow’s milk, combined with smaller amounts of sheep’s and goat’s milk, adhering to traditional methods that honor the island's rich dairy heritage.

The aging enhances its firm texture and imparts a rich, nutty, and slightly spicy taste, making it an exceptional choice for culinary use. Graviera Naxou POP pairs perfectly with wine, fresh fruits, or as a stand-alone delicacy on a cheese platter.
