Αυτό είναι φίλε μου, άμα παράγεις και ζεις λιτά έχεις κάθε λόγο να είσαι ευτυχισμένος. Ο ορισμός της χαράς της (δύσκολης) ζωής στα μάτια της. Πάντα η τυροκομική μου φαινότανε πως έχει κάτι από μαγεία μέσα της.

In this environmental portrait Kakou is making traditional cheese, in an

environment that is not approved by the European Union....not for resale

any way. Brussels have cost her her job.

Thank you for viewing and any comments will be appreciated. (You can view

it larger).

Then EU haven't approved traditions, at least this way of making cheese, in my country the health administration have not approved the traditional way of making cheese as healthy. Good document.

Mehmet, thank you very much.

 

 

Saad,tradition is the wisdom of the ages. I agree with you, it looks unhygienic, but it is the best I have ever tried. Her customers were hundreds of people from all over the Island and as far as I know nobody suffered any ill effects..:-). I watched the whole process, from milking her goats and sheep, depositing the milk in stainless steel containers, strained it through a fine muslin cloth, washed her hands and finally the milk was boiled etc.

Talking about the EU, it over legislates and I am not so sure that the legislators have a

well informed opinion. To day the results of the referendum were announced and England is getting out of the EU. One politician called it 'Independence day'. My guess is that other member countries will follow and the EU will become a European trade union only. Thank very much you for your visit and comment.

Politics aside, this is a superb casual portrait; the lady's expression is priceless and the b/w tones are (IMO) outstanding.  Well done... Mike

This image captures a wonderful sense of life and spirit from her. I want to try the chaeese. B&W works very well for this. Well seen.

Charles,after is made the 'haloumi' cheese is normally put in jars with brine and after a time, when it gets hard you can slice and grill it or you can use it for all kinds of recipes.
