I bought this for my Mom when she couldn't find it for a recipe. Apparently I went overboard by buying two pounds, but it seems to freeze well. The whole town has had some by now! Versatile with many recipes, can be inserted for mozzerella, romano, parmasean and feta ... it only takes imagination. Great twist to recipes!

Myzithra is hard to find in the area where we live. We love this cheese and use it to replicate the Spaghetti Factory's Myzithra in browned butter. I have made this recipe many times and have always had rave reviews. I have been told it tastes exactly like the restaurants. My grandson's who are seven and nine ask me to make this dish for them.

Myzithra is a good hard cheese that is easily grated or shredded and I use it in many other recipes because of its interesting flavor.

iGourmet is a great company to do business with. They reply promptly via email and ship even faster. I highly recommend iGourmet and their other products.

I bought this to try to make the Old Spaghetti Factory Myzithra browned butter a la Homer which is my favorite. Ok I'm not a pro chef, but I think I did pretty well but it still did not quite taste as delicious as the restaurant. I'm sticking with the restaurant!

I love myzithra cheese. It's one of the most appealing things about eating at Spaghetti Factory. I ordered some mail order about 10 years ago and it was very good- although I don't remember where from. I ordered this recently but it was nothing like previous experience. It wasn't spoiled, just tasteless- whereas myzithra is usually very tangy. I'd try a different brand.

I haven't bought this specific cheese from igourmet, although I have bought others. I will vouch for Myzithra in general, a local grocery store to me stocks it fairly often, and based on the description here it's about the same. Makes a wonderful cheese for pasta, it does grate well, but it melts quite well actually. I'm far from a chef, I just try out things and experiment until I get something I like personally, but I would say this is a cheese to try.

Addendum: I have tried this specific cheese from iGourmet now, and I do find it a bit better in flavor then the one my local grocery store carries. Again this is an excellent cheese. I'm changing the review from 4 to 5 stars as well to reflect the specific iGourmet product, I guess the stuff I had before buying it from them is only four star worthy.

Myzithra is a greek cheese come from the island of Crete.
