Grandma Fainareti's Cheese Pie
This Greek tyropita varies from the classic recipe using a variety of cheeses including spicy kopanisti. "Kopanisti" in the Greek language is used to describe something that has been beaten. In Kopanisti cheese this refers to its technique of preparation. It is mainly made by cow's milk or sheep's milk or a mixture of both. Kopanisti is a typical cheese from Mykonos.
