Georgetou Cheese Factory

For many years, the people of Kefalonia stand out in what they do, because whatever they do, they do right.

"The Association of Kefallinian Cheesemakers and Cheese Workers based in Potamianata and in the year 12-12-1952 recognizes as its member Spyrangelo Georgato of Ioannos, resident of Deilinata and born in 1911, with the specialty of Cheesemaker ".

With the demonstration of this identity, the grandson Spyrangelos begins his narration, because he also considers it a deed of commencement of work of the dairy. His father and his brother, Vassilis and Gerasimos, took over the job in 1975 and in 1982 they built the new cheese factory in facilities of 2.000 sq.m.

In 1976 his collaboration had already begun Georgetou Cheese Factory with Sklavenitis, who this year (2016) completes 40 years of cooperation.

Today the Dairy of Georgatos is considered the largest in Kefalonia.

Its production exceeds six hundred tons of cheese (white barrel cheese, kefalotyri, mizithra, gruyere, pretzas) from local sheep and goat milk and seven hundred tons of dairy (yogurts, creams, rice milk, desserts, etc.) from milk .

Thus, Spyrangelos Tzortzatos, known for the special flavors of his cheese products, entered the market of cow's milk.

In his shop, located in Sitemporon street, but also in other supermarkets Of Kefalonia You can find fresh milk, while there is also the possibility to buy light milk, milk in a package of five liters, as well as chocolate milk.

As Spyrangelos informed us, the response of the public to this project is very positive!

Congratulations, because they are a shining example of how family units can be sustainable and be the backbone of the Greek economy.
