Christmas Salad with BIO MENOIKIO anthotyro.

I always make sure my diet is clean and organic. This means trying to eat as few processed foods as possible, choosing local and seasonal ones. This way I get better nourishment and nutrient absorption and reduce my intake of additives, unnecessary calories and substances that burden the body. One of my favourite products is anthotyro: a traditional, tasty Greek white cheese that is very low in salt and fat. This means it has far fewer calories than other cheeses, without lacking nutrients. It is a rich source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and vitamins A and D. MENOIKIO organic anthotyro is a soft cheese made from 100% Greek goat and sheep whey from organically raised animals in my home region, which is why I trust it. It is eaten fresh, has a grainy, fluffy texture and can enrich many of our meals with nutrients, protein and flavour.

  With a little imagination we can use it in salads, pies and tortillas, serve it with our meals instead of the classic feta, or enjoy it as a dessert with honey, fruit and cocoa or cinnamon. With the holidays coming, I'll share my recipe for the most Christmassy salad with anthotyro.
