Wine and dine

The island’s fertile volcanic soil nurtures the local agricultural products, endowing them with top quality and a unique taste. Some of their unique products are:

Fava beans- Used in many recipes, ranging from freshly boiled plain fava to fava with pork or with tomato puree, or as a soup, with rice or in an omelette, these peas are popular with visitors to Santorini thanks to their fine taste.

White aubergines- The magic thing about this variety of aubergine is not just that it has been coloured white by the volcanic soil. It is also that the bitterness sometimes found in aubergines is completely absent and instead the flesh is sweet and juicy.

Capers- Both the flowers and the leaves are used in local cuisine for their spicy sharp aroma.

Cherry tomatoes- It was in the 18th century that the locals first cultivated this variety of tomatoes, which owe their unique taste to the arid soil of the island.

Their rich vineyards allows for the production of Santorini’s fine wines.

To indulge your taste buds in traditional Santorini food view the link below for your closest restaurant.
