Greece, since the days of Homer produces quality dairy products. The first ever reference to cheese making comes in the Odyssey. Perhaps surprisingly, the first recorded cheese maker ever is not any idyllic shepherd but none other than the one – eyed giant Cyclops. As Homer explains it, Cyclops was quite the avid milk fan. After he drank swaths of it, he would leave what was left in his cold, dark cave only to become cheese shortly thereafter.

Aristotle – when resting from the complicated moral issues he dealt with in his main lime of work-made cheese in his free time; and wrote a couple of recipes to remind himself. Thankfully, both his work and his cheese recipes are saved to this day.
Cheese making flourished during the Byzantine times as well.
Since 1955 the grandfather Kyrjazakos,  was preparing feta cheese   in a small cheese dairy. Today,   we - his grandsons-   prepare   feta cheese and goat’s milk   cheese with the same traditional recipe in our modern facilities   in   Molaous of   Lakonia. 

Protected Designation of Origin
The European Commission has developed a philosophy for protecting geographical origin and local production methods by classifying certain products as Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.)
The regulation 1107/96 initially registered Feta cheese as Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) under the conditions enforced by the regulation 2081/92 EU of the requirements that should be met so that any product bears the name of origin.. An abrogative decision of this regulation from the European Court of Justice was published following the reactions of producers from other countries that manufactured imitation Feta cheese. After the valid appeal of Greek parties, the name Feta has been permanently registered as Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) according to the decision 314/14-6-2002 of the Commission
