Sweet Red Pepper & Graviera Cheese Spread - PDO Cretan Cheese | 7oz

🌶️ Sweet Red Pepper & Graviera Cheese Spread

Hellenic Farms • PDO Cretan Graviera • Sweet Red Pepper • Ready to Spread • 7 oz

Two of Greece’s most celebrated ingredients — sweet red pepper and PDO Graviera cheese — combined into a single, deeply flavorful spread. Hellenic Farms blends the natural sweetness of roasted red pepper with the nutty, caramelized richness of Cretan Graviera to create something that is simultaneously familiar and entirely its own: a spread that works on bread, with crackers, as a dip, or as a sauce base.

This is the kind of product that disappears from a cheese board before anything else. Bold enough to stand on its own, versatile enough to enhance almost anything.

• No artificial flavors or preservatives — clean, authentic Greek ingredients

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is PDO Cretan Graviera?
  Graviera is Greece’s most beloved hard cheese — a firm, aged cheese made from sheep’s and goat’s milk with a nutty, sweet, caramelized flavor. The PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) designation for Cretan Graviera guarantees it is produced in Crete using traditional methods and authentic local milk.
• Is it spicy?
  No — this spread uses sweet red pepper, not hot pepper. The flavor is rich and savory with natural sweetness, no heat.
• How long does it keep after opening?
  Refrigerate after opening and consume within 5–7 days.
• Can I cook with it?
  Yes — it works well stirred into pasta, used as a pizza topping, or as a filling for baked dishes. The cheese and pepper flavors hold up well to gentle heat.
