Lactase enzyme deficiency in the human body causes lactose intolerance. People suffering from this condition often experience unpleasant symptoms after eating dairy products. OMIROS produces Lacto-free Feta Cheese. A delicious, award-winning product made of 100% lactose-free sheep’s and goat’s milk so that everyone can enjoy the unique taste of the OMIROS feta cheese. OMIROS was founded by the Giannitsi family in 1984 and was named after the Ancient Greek poet Homer (Omiros in Greek), who made the earliest reference to the cheese we now call “FETA” in the text of his “Odyssey”. According to the legend, Polyphemus the Cyclops became the first cheesemaker when he accidentally discovered that the milk he had been storing in sheepskin bags would clot and become edible. That’s how the production of feta cheese began in Ancient Greece. The production of OMIROS products is based on traditional techniques of the local cheese makers. The family has been producing cheese products of exceptional taste and quality for five generations.
