Bafas Dairy
Founded in 1965 in Aneza, Arta, Bafas Dairy has been dedicated to producing authentic Greek cheeses using pure, locally sourced milk. What began as a family dairy has grown into a modern production facility, combining traditional cheesemaking expertise with continuous investment in innovation and technology.
Since 1974, our products have been marketed under the Krystalli brand—a name that symbolizes purity while honoring the renowned Greek poet Kostas Krystallis, whose roots trace back to Syrrako, Ioannina, the homeland of the Bafas family.
The company was founded by Georgios S. Bafas, whose vision established the foundations of the business. In the late 1990s, leadership passed to his son, Christos Bafas, who continued the company’s growth and oversaw its relocation to new, state-of-the-art facilities in 2000.
Since 2014, the third generation has been actively involved in the business. Georgios Bafas, a Food Technologist, has contributed to the company’s modernization by strengthening both its production processes and its corporate development.
Today, with more than 60 years of experience, Bafas Dairy has earned the trust of milk producers, business partners, and consumers alike, offering authentic Greek cheeses that combine tradition, exceptional quality, and innovation.

TODAY
Our product range includes a complete selection of premium Greek cheeses, led by our flagship Krystalli Graviera, alongside Feta, Anthotyro, Mizithra, and many other traditional specialties.
The high-quality milk sourced from Greece’s coastal regions gives our cheeses their distinctive taste and rich character.

We also developed innovative specialty cheeses such as Smoked Goat Cheese and Aged Smoked Graviera with Truffle.
We continue to invest in research and product development, creating new flavors that meet modern consumer expectations while remaining true to the authentic heritage of Greek cheesemaking.
