MACAR Fine Products is dedicated to the production of Premium Greek Food Products through the revival of a truly unique cheese product - Ladotyri, which means 'olive oil cheese' in Greek.
Maturing cheese in olive oil is a practice that dates back to ancient times on the Greek Island of Lesvos. Long before the time of refrigeration, the need to preserve cheese led the islanders to store it in traditional clay containers filled with olive oil, and as result an incredible maturing practice was discovered.
MACAR Fine Products has revived this extraordinary tradition with the highest quality standards and has paired it with one of the finest olive oils in the world - Extra Virgin Kalamata Olive - while offering value which goes beyond flavor.
Made from the local milk of livestock grazing in fields enriched by the Aegean Sea and matured in olive oil from ageless trees that have basked under the Greek Sun, the mature flavor of MACAR Ladotyri is matched by no other in the specialty cheese classification.
With only a limited number of pieces produced each year, we offer you a piece of history, a hint of luxury, and invite you to discover the finer things in life.
