Skotiri is a traditional white and soft cheese, with a spicy taste and an aroma from local greens or herbs. It is produced in Ios, Cyclades, and it has taken its name after the goat skin (askos), where skotiri was placed in order to mature.

It is a mixture of sheep and goat’s milk with aromatic greens or herbs (mainly savory). Nowadays, during the process of maturation, the goat skins have been replaced by tin boxes.
