Manouri

Manouri has a subtle, buttery flavor and creamy melt-in-your-mouth texture. This soft, white cheese makes a delectable dessert, sublime when served drizzled with honey, sometimes topped with nuts and/or accompanied by figs. For a savory experience, try manouri mixed with herbs on a thick slab of bread. Similar to ricotta but denser, its unique qualities have made manouri a more common offering of late, even in non-Greek restaurants.
