Mizithra or myzithra is a fresh cheese made with milk and whey from sheep or goats, or both. The ratio of milk to whey usually is 7 to 3. Production resembles that of Italian ricotta, though mizithra is typically drier. Mizithra can be salt-dried to produce a mature salty cheese. It is primarily produced on the island of Crete.
