Mizithra or myzithra (greek: μυζήθρα [miˈziθra]) is a greek whey cheese or mixed milk-whey cheese from sheep or goats, or both. it is sold both as a fresh cheese, similar to italian ricotta, and as a salt-dried grating cheese, similar to italian ricotta salata. the ratio of milk to whey usually is 7 to 3. it is primarily produced on the island of crete but is widespread throughout greece. it is essentially the same as anthotyros though the latter may contain some cow's milk. in cyprus a similar cheese is known as "anari" (αναρή in greek, nor in cypriot turkish, lor in turkish).
