About PCC, MYZITHRA
PCC Myzithra is a traditional Greek-style fresh cheese sold under the PCC cooperative label, produced from pasteurized sheep's milk, whey, rennet, salt, and enzymes. Per 100 g it provides 286 calories, 14.3 g protein, 21.4 g fat, and 7.1 g carbohydrates. The sheep's milk origin gives it a distinctly rich, slightly tangy flavor that differentiates it from cow's milk fresh cheeses. Myzithra is traditionally used in Greek cuisine as a fresh table cheese, crumbled over pasta, or incorporated into pies and pastries. It is naturally lower in carbohydrates than most fresh cheeses that use lactose-preserving methods, suiting moderately low-carb Mediterranean-style eating.
