Myzithra Cheese

Myzithra is available in three varieties: fresh (sweet), sour, and aged:
Fresh Myzithra is unsalted and soft, similar to ricotta, and is generally sold in egg-shaped balls. It has a pungent odor and mild flavor.
Sour Myzithra, is made with goat or sheep milk, yeast, and salt.
Aged Myzithra is a hard, salty cheese.
Aged Myzithra is probably the most common as it is generally found tossed into pasta in many Greek restaurants and chain restaurants like The Spaghetti factory.
Because it has a pungent aroma and rich taste, aged Mizithra is best served grated in browned butter and simply tossed with pasta and a little garlic.
