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.
