Santorini has a unique and precious ecosystem, created by the continuous volcanic explosions and the lava that offered to its land this absorbing, porous and rich in porcelain aspect. This volcanic ecosystem, gave birth to the most extraordinary natural products:
Assyrtiko grapes, Santorini Fava Beans and Santorini Τomatoes.
Santorini’s unique products:
PDO SANTORINI FAVA
” Santorini Fava” as it is called, is a “Protected Designation of Origin” product. Fava grows exclusively in Santorini for more than 3,500 years and has high nutritional value as it is rich in proteins and carbohydrates. The traditional method of production includes drying under the sun and aging, offering a velvety texture and the slightly sweet taste.
PDO SANTORINI TOMATO
“Santorini tomato” is one of a kind! Small in size, no bigger than a cherry with a thick skin, it reveals a concentrated full body with sweet taste and intense aromas. Only Santorini can give us a tomato which is richer in lycopene and antioxidants compared to any other tomato !
WILD CAPERS & CAPER LEAVES
Wild caper is a bush born in the volcanic soil and lava stones, its leaves are rich in vitamins and antioxidants and have a unique spicy flavour!
