A Tinos cheese ripened inside a dried, hollowed gourd (kariki). The cheese is layered with coarse salt, pressed down to remove all the air and sealed airtight in the gourd, where it matures for months. The maker says this lets fungal spores do their job. Sampled cheese was yellow, hard on the outside and soft inside.
Total time across the recorded steps: 40 days – 7 months

A Tinos cheese ripened inside a dried, hollowed gourd (kariki). The cheese is layered with coarse salt, pressed down to remove all the air and sealed airtight in the gourd, where it matures for months. The maker says this lets fungal spores do their job. Sampled cheese was yellow, hard on the outside and soft inside. Made in 4 steps over 40 days – 7 months. The longest step, ripen in the gourd, takes 40 days – 7 months (Pappa E.C 2023).
Ripened sealed inside a dried gourd instead of an animal skin or a crock, which shapes the cheese and, in the maker's words, lets fungal spores do their work. Its moisture is low enough for a hard cheese although it is labelled soft.
Composition
One market sample - moisture 37.4 %, fat 40.8 %, salt 2.4 %, protein 19.3 %, fat in dry matter 65.2 %, pH 5.6
Fatty acids
More saturated and fewer unsaturated fatty acids than cheeses of similar ripening time, which the authors put down to the gourd
Cheese is layered with coarse salt, pressed to remove the air and sealed airtight in the gourd. A market sample measured pH 5.6 and 2.4 % salt (Pappa 2023).
Kariki had been made, if rarely, in some Tinos villages in the past, and it was later found being made at Steni by a family dairy (Greek Gastronomy Guide). A 2021 study described its traditional manufacturing process for the first time (Salakidou et al.).
