SYROS
Tyrosyra Dairy
Tyrosyra Dairy was founded in 2013 in the village of Vissa, Syros, with a clear mission: to preserve the island’s rich cheesemaking tradition and protect the authentic recipes that have been passed down through generations.
Driven by deep knowledge, respect, and a genuine passion for the local heritage, a small group of milk producers joined forces to safeguard the traditional methods of cheese production while supporting the sustainability of local dairy farming.
Inspired by the unique character of Syros, Tyrosyra combines traditional craftsmanship with modern production practices, creating cheeses that express the authentic flavors and identity of the Cycladic islands.
Today, the company remains committed to preserving the island’s gastronomic heritage, producing high-quality cheeses that celebrate the tradition, culture, and exceptional dairy craftsmanship of Syros.
