Corfu Local Products, Greece: Guide to the local products of Corfu, Ionian

 

 

Because of its mild climate and of the frequent rainfall, Corfu has a fertile land which produces a variety of excellent agricultural products; the island is particularly famous for its olive (and olive oil), its wine, its cereals and its golden honey.

If someone goes to the right places (not too touristy) he will have the chance to taste some of the mouth-watering specialities of Corfu which have been influenced, over the centuries, by the Sicilians, the Venetians and the French that once occupied the island:

:: Pastitsado: a local speciality that derives from the Venetian Spezzatino and one of the favourite dishes of the island; it consists of beef and gravy cooked with tomatoes and accompanied with a thick pasta.
