With a tradition of over 4000 years, Greek cuisine is one of the most famous in all of Europe. The climate and the geographical position of Greece allowed chefs to cook fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the year. This made their dishes always fresh and full of flavour, attracting gourmets’ attention to Mediterranean cuisine.
The oldest ingredient consumed by Greek people is olive oil, which is used for any type of dish, whether it is a main course or a dessert. Other ingredients that are used very often in Greek dishes are: fish and seafood, dairy and lamb and goat meat. Greek cuisine has an impressive variety of dishes that have maintained their fresh taste and flavour over the years.
