In the Cretan kitchen all foods based on Goat cheese (Chevre cheese) called “Mizithra” (salted, sour or unsalted) are very popular.
One of them are the “Mizithropitakia” little semicircular Mizithra cheese pies considered more as dessert which are fried and thanks to the imagination of the Cretan women the result in these little cheese pies is as pretty as it is savoury!
There are many ways of preparing these cheese pies and according the region having different names as well as “kalitsounia”, “nerates mizithropites “ , “agnopites”, “sarikopites”, “sfakianopites” depending the shape they give but here we follow one of them the kalitsounia from Heraklion region.
We serve them with honey or sugar and cinnamon
ENJOY!
The instigator and creator was the famous American professor Ancel Keys, the Mr. Cholesterol in the way Americans called him as he was the first to connect “nutrition-heart” and started the research in the late 1940s and specifically in 1947.
In the research he included Greece after the initiative and the inducement of the Greek professor Mr Aravanis in 1954 when it was agreed to include Greece as it had some special nutritional characteristics.
In the research it was also included Italy, Holland, the Former Yugoslavia and now Serbia, Finland and Japan.
For Greece Crete and Corfu were chosen.
In Crete it was chosen a group of 620 residents in the rural area of Kastelli Pediados 50km away from Heraklion where their nutrition followed a typical diet of rural people with a big consumption of oil together with hard agricultural work that is body exercise on a daily basis and a year later a second group of other 620 residents in Corfu in a similar region 45km away from the Corfu city with almost the same diet habits.

Greek vegetarian vegan tastes are simple, and when someone wants to sense their identity, then they need to visit Greece. If you’ve never walked under the warm and bright sun of Greece, nor sat under an olive tree, smelled fresh thyme, oregano, sage, experienced simplicity over complexity, then it would be difficult for you to sense and comprehend the superiority and uniqueness of Greek vegetarian vegan food, diet and lifestyle.
