Enjoy a food tasting experience
An evening culinary experience and a dinner to remember!
Imagine an afternoon full of flavours, aromas, stories of tradition, and music!
We have prepared for you the ideal experience to get to know and taste the rich products of Andros.
It seems that Greeks’ relation to food is quite different, compared to the average European; happy and sad moments, celebrations, and mourning, all occur around a table laden with food. Hence the question “what’s to eat?” is heard everywhere, always. The Greek cuisine reflects the rich agricultural production of our small and yet blessed country and gives us even today indirect information about the land’s economy, history, social life, customs, and even the people’s religious beliefs.
Gastronomy in Andros is characterized by the main elements of Greek and Cycladic cuisine. Natural products, fresh fruits and vegetables, local cheeses, traditional recipes, and delicious desserts will be included in this unique culinary experience.
Even though it’s an island, Andros is more famous for its fresh meat rather than for fish. Oil, citrus, fruits meat, and dairy products such as amexia, chloro, petroti, volaki and kopanisti cheese, pork derivatives such as lardia the famous sausage, louza or syglina and sissira, greens such as capers and kritama which you can find by the sea, is the local produce of Andros.
Judging by the number of patisseries on the island, the locals really enjoy having desserts! Andros’ authentic dessert is almond paste, “amigdalota” , “kaltsounia”, “pasteli” with sesame or walnuts, pasterlaries (dried figs with ground walnuts, and sesame), and of course “spoon sweets” made with lemon flowers, babiloni, bergamot, and walnut. Local delicacies are not to be missed either.
A dish for the brave is “fourtalia”, an omelet with potatoes, pork, and sausages cooked in a type of animal fat called ‘glina’ instead of oil, with numerous variations. Specific celebrative foods give a festive tone to all festive days of the year, at Easter in Andros, locals cook in traditional wood ovens “lampriati”, lamb stuffed with cheese, eggs, herbs, dill, and spearmint.
This Foodie Taste Experience is an ideal activity for a group of friends who prefer simple local food and beverages. We’ve planned a day for you to taste some of the best products and beverages Andros has to offer while relaxing, reconnecting, and catching up with your friends.
Enjoy a delicious dinner in a beautiful green space in Livadia to the sound of traditional local music.
An experience not to be missed!
