COOKING CLASSES & OLIVE OIL TASTING-THE REAL TASTE OF GREECE
Our meeting point will be at the Old Port parking area from where strolling through the narrow alleys we will reach Corfu’s open fruit & fish market. We will ,buy our fresh organic products, harvested from the corfiot fields a few hours earlier, listen to the local producers trying to sell their goods by competing of the loudest voice and feel the smell of the undoubtedly fresh fish, vegetables fruit and herbs! A real unique experience!
Of course the price negotiaton (pazari)with the vendors is part of the deal-game!
Next stop is at a small shop for fresh dairy products and cheese and traditionally baked bread. Once we are ready with our supplies we will be transferred at a country home where the chef will teach us how to prepare and cook traditional greek recipes .
A welcome treat consisted of local delicacies is offered upon arrival and then we can start with our “hands on” preparation and cooking traditional recipes.
The almost forgotten technique of cooking in a wood-fired oven goes back centuries and it is worth not only to attend but mostly to taste the delicious cooked meals!
Before lunch, a walk in our family 200 y.o olive press ruins, and the olive oil tasting under the olive trees is highly appreciated. Learn everything about the olive oil, from cultivation to harvesting and of course try the extra virgin local olive oil.
All products are local, organic and fresh, prepared and cooked as our mothers and grandmothers used to cook creating in a humble way the greatness of the Greek cuisine!
Experience the unique Greek hospitality and the family atmosphere amply and hearty provided to you!
