*'''Description'''
Graviera Kritis is a [[:Category:Greek recipes#ΠΟΠ (POP) ingredients|ΠΟΠ (POP)]] hard table [[cheese]] with a firm elastic texture and perforations. The [[cheese]] is produced traditionally from sheeps’ [[milk]] or from a mixture of sheeps’ [[milk]] and goats’ [[milk]].

*'''Geographical area'''
The prefectures of Hania, Rethymnos, Iraklion and Lasithio on the island of Crete. The [[cheese]] is made using traditional technology from the [[milk]] of sheep and goat breeds reared traditionally in the above-stated area. The animals are fully-adapted to the environment and their diet is based on the flora of the area.

*'''History'''
This cheese has a history going back centuries and is one of the most well-known of the Greek graviera cheeses. It is produced using traditional technology and ripened in installations within the defined geographical area.

*'''Production'''
The [[milk]] is coagulated at 34-360C. After 30 minutes the [[curd]] is broken up and reheated to 50-52C under constant stirring. Following this the [[curd]] is placed in moulds and pressed for several hours. The cheeses are then left to stand for 1 day at a temperature of 14-16C and are afterwards placed in [[brine]] at 18-20C for 2-5 days depending on their size. After removal from the [[brine]] the cheeses are ripened for not less than 3 months in rooms kept at 14-18C. During ripening the they are surface salted all over up to 10 times.
