Lemnos

Lemnos does not rely on the sea but on its fertile plains with low hills, and this is evident in the inhabitants’ engagement with livestock farming and cultivation. From these, after all, comes both the love of cheese-making—which yields the famed “kalathaki,” “melichloro,” “kaskavali,” and other cheeses—and of viticulture, which gives grapes, raisins, vinegar, and the Lemnian wine mentioned by Homer and Aristophanes.
