Naxos Cheese - Making Industry was established in 1990 by Emmanuel Vas. Koufopoulos. Emmanuel Koufopoulos created a special group of traditional cheese - making and dairy products made in Naxos, by exploiting the island's tradition and the family experience in producing cattle - breeding goods in combination with the help of modern technology. Our products are all made from fresh cow, goat and ship milk which is collected every day with a lot of care from our producers.
