KEFALLONIA (Island) IONIAN ISLANDS
  In Cephalonia the famous VQPRD Rombola, a white, sweet-smelling wine is produced. Other wines are Mavrodafni and White Muscat. Vine-growing activates enterprises for the wine production and trade in Greece and abroad (Calliga, Rombola Co-operative, Mantzavino, Metaxa Estate, Gentillini, Sklavos Estate, Vitoratos Wine Factory). Sklavos Estate produces certified biological wine.
  The olive oil production is 2500 tons a year and its special characteristic, which adds to its high quality, is that the olives are collected directly from the trees.
  The Cephalonian cheese-makers are renowned all over Greece and abroad. Based on traditional techniques they produce high quality feta cheese as well as hard cheese and skim-milk cheese.
