 Foods of Epirus: Part 3 Cheese in Métsovon


Foods of Epirus

Epirus in Northwestern Greece is one of the less often visited regions of Greece. Being geographically "impregnable" due to high mountains and few passages it has been historically isolated causing its people to be self-sufficient even during difficult times. The region includes several lakes, and borders the Ionian seas, guaranteeing plentiful supplies of water, fresh fish, and several agricultural products.
Epirus also has some of the best organized dairy and livestock farms that include beef cattle, pigs, goats and sheep. It is also very rich in game, making it one of the prime destinations for Greek hunters.
This independence in food production has been responsible for unique cuisine and culinary customs that we would like to introduce in the next issues of our newsletter. We hope that you enjoy it.

Cheese in Métsovon
It is now a good 40 years ago, that Greek cheesemakers from sleepy Métsovon set out for northern Italy, where they were welcomed by Baron Tositsas, a descendent of an old established Walachian family from Métsovon. He took them under his wing until they had mastered the manufacturing process of the famous Italian filata cheeses such as Mozzarella and Provolone, a process that involves scalding and kneading the cheese mixture until it can be pulled into "elastic threads." It did not take them long, and the young Greek cheesemakers returned to Greece with their newly acquired expertise and began to make their own cheese using local milk. And that was when Metsovóne was born, a semisoft, smoked cheese made the Italian way.

Metsovóne has a distinctive shape — a sausage roughly 16 inches (40 centimeters) long, with its ends of varying thickness. It is firmly bound with cords so that it can be hung up for smoking. When cut, it reveals holes and hollows. It is mainly made from cows milk, and the proportion of sheep's or goat's milk may not exceed 20 percent. With 42 percent water, a good 27 percent protein, 26 percent fat when dried, and 2.8 percent salt, Metsovóne is a decidedly salty cheese, better served as an appetizer than a sandwich filler. Initially, the manufacturing process barely differs from that of other types of cheese. The milk is thickened with rennet and the curds chopped up small to release more whey. The pea-sized lumps of curds are then left to form a cohesive mass and to sour, after which the mass is cut up once again. It is then scalded with hot water (167-176 °F, 75-80 °C), drawn out, and kneaded thoroughly. This makes it into an elastic and malleable mass, which can be formed into the characteristic Metsovóne shape, either by hand or using special containers. The cheese is then salted and matured at a very low temperature for a period of five months. Once matured, Metsovóne cheese is smoked to achieve its distinctive flavor. The cheese is served in slices or broiled, but can also be used grated.


Opposite: Country sausage is hung up to dry for about four weeks and can then be smoked over beech wood if desired.


The congealed and soured curds must be broken up again before the crucial process of scalding them in hot water.

When the broken curds have been scalded in hot water, the fibrous mixture becomes elastic and can be drawn into threads.
The cheesemaker kneads the scalded, drawn, and hence elastic mixture into the customary shape, almost as though it were bread dough.

Ancient Greek Wisdom

 Special Feature: Ancient Greek Technology
 Hysplex
     
  The starting post mechanism in the classical stadiums. Model of one of the two agones of the hysplex, which is the system that, when placed in front of the starting point of the runners, prevented the premature set off during the speed contests. The hysplex was composed by two horizontal ropes stretched in front of the runners at the level of the knees and chest, as is observed in a scene on a Panathenaic amphora from Athens, dated 344-343 B.C. The ropes were held at the edges by vertical wooden posts, the agones, which were implanted inside simple mechanisms, predecessors of the spring, made by twisted animal nerves. These mechanisms were placed on rock bases, remnants of which were found at the edges of the starting point of three ancient Greek stadiums, of Isthmia, of Epidauros, and of Nemea, as well as in the Agora of Corinth. The agones were kept standing, probably stranded by a ring on a stable pillar, which was placed behind them. The starter, who was standing behind the runners holding the two control ropes, set the mechanism in motion. With one sudden move he released the stretched agones, which fell suddenly to the ground dragging along the whole barrier and thus providing the runners the freedom to run. In the picture the model of the entire system of the hysplex is depicted in natural size, which, placed at its original position in the stadium of Nemea, functioned perfectly until July 1996, during the conduct of the contests, according to the ancient prototypes.

 Euboia (part 2)


 

South Euboia


SIGHTS-MONUMENTS. On the road from Aliveri to Karystos one passes through the following villages: Lepoura, Krieza (7 km.), the remains of the ancient city of the Dryopes, Dysto, Styra (73 km. from Eretria) with the nearby Cyclopean structures known locally as "Drakospita" (Dragon lairs), Nea Styra, which is developing as a tourist centre thanks to ease of access and communication with Athens. Marmari (97 km. from Eretria) takes its name from the coloured marble of the region, much sought after since antiquity. The islets opposite, Petalioi, of which Tragonisi, Xeronisi and Megalonisos are uninhabited, are a popular summer resort. Karystos (102 km. from Eretria) encircles the shores of the homonymous gulf and attracts a host of tourists due to its frequent connections with Athens, via Rafina. Ruins of the ancient city, renowned in antiquity —as today— for its marble, are preserved in the locality of Palaiochora, along with those of the medieval Castel Rosso. The modern town was planned and designed by the Bavarian architect Bierbach in 1841, on the orders of king Otto, which, is why it was also known as Othonoupolis until 1862 when it reverted to its ancient name. Sights of interest there include a Venetian castle, the ruins of a Byzantine castle, the suburbs with their 18th century buildings, the cathedral (metropolis), small local museum and, of course, the densely wooded glades with brooks and springs. From Karystos one can easily visit villages in the mountains, as well as those of the Cava d'Oro (Cape Kafireas), the most notable being Platanistos.

North Euboia

SIGHTS-MONUMENTS. Modern country towns, verdant villages and seaside resorts comprise Northern Euboia. 16 km. north of Chalkida is Psachna with its nearby convent of the Virgin Makrymalli and St. John Kalyvitis. Not far away is another town, Politika, set in the midst of rich woodland in which stands the convent of the Virgin Perivleptos with its 12th century katholikon, decorated with wall-paintings of Turkish times. Prokopi (52 km. from Chalkida) is a small village created in 1925 by refugees from Asia Minor and in its church of St. John the Russian, the saint's relic is preserved. Other features of interest in the area include the enormous plane tree (27 m. in diameter) in the neighbouring village of Mantoudi (4 km.).


One of the most picturesque villages is Lim-ni (87 km. from Chalkida) on the site of ancient Elymnion, where the green of the pine trees merges with the azure of the sea. From here one may visit other villages: Rovies, Aghia Anna (75 km. from Chalkida) with a vista of the Aegean, Strofylia and the coastal ones of Angali, Vasiliki (96 km. from Chalkida) and El-linika (103 km. from Chalkida), just north of which is Cape Artemision. At this point a famous naval battle was fought during the Persian Wars (480 BC) and it was here too that the wonderful bronze statue of Poseidon was recovered from the depths of the sea. The largest town in the area (NE Euboia) is Istiaia with many market gardens and vineyards, for which it was also renowned in an-tiqufty, when it acquired the epithet "Polysta-phylle" (many grapes). One can visit the small archaeological collection housed in the town hall and the church of St. Nicholas. Oreioi, the port of Istiaia (6 km. to the west) is a lovely village which has been inhabited without interruption since Early Helladic times and is now a thriving tourist centre. On the two low eminences on the outskirts of the town are the ruins of the two acropoles and of the Prankish castle. There is a small archaeological collection in the office of the community and a 4th century BC marble bull which was recovered from the depths of the sea. Of the numerous charming seaside villages we mention Pefki, Aghiokampos and Lichada, each surrounded by pine forest, extending down to the water's edge. Other villages on the plain include Neos Pyrgos (2 km. from Oreoi); Aghios (6 km. west) and Aidipsos (149 km. from Chalkida) which is a well-known spa. The curative properties of the waters there have been known since ancient times and are mentioned by such authors as Herodotus, Aristotle, Aristophanes and Strabo. In Roman times the emperors Augustus and Hadrian visited the springs, as well as the general Sulla, who sought a cure for his gout and built a bathhouse (Thermae), of which only scant traces have survived. Nowadays there are several hydrotherapy centres at the spa, as well as hotels and pensions where visitors may stay. There are frequent communications with Ar-kitsa. 10 km. from Aidipsos is a pleasant area of woodland and to the east of this the village of Profitis Ilias, with the convent of St. George in the vicinity, as well as the villages of Yaltra, Loutra Yaltron and Aghios Georgios.
