Greek Cheese that Ranks Among Europe’s Tastiest Isn’t Feta
CNN Travel included a lesser-known Greek cheese, Metsovone, among its list of the tastiest European cheeses. Metsovone hails from the village of Metsovo which is located in the northern Greek region of Epirus.
Greek cheese Metsovone has a rich, smoky flavor. Metsovone is one of a few Greek cheeses that were awarded the coveted “PDO” or “Product of Designated Origin” status from the European Union in 1996, which means cheese labeled “Metsovone” can only be produced in Greece.

In addition to Metsovone cheese, another Greek cheese was included on the recent list of Europe’s tastiest cheeses. Halloumi, the iconic product from the island of Cyprus, also ranked among the most delicious cheeses of Europe.

My friend would sometimes fry feta and then add a chili sauce to it. God it was delicious, and I would recommend.
I've never tried Mestovone though - will have to sometime! I love smoky cheese.
