It's a hard cheese with a light to deep yellow color, small irregular holes, a hard rind, and flavor ranging from slightly sweet and nutty to a bit spicy. The most common Cretan version comes from sheep's milk or sheep's milk mixed with a small amount of goat's milk. Under protective designation of origin (PDO) rules, graviera must contain at least 40 percent fat, with a maximum moisture content of 38 percent. This gives it a high calorie count—about 110 per 1-ounce serving. But it's also a good source of calcium and protein.
