Autumn on Crete Making Raki in the Kazani Mandali in Winter Bekijk de webversie Mandali, local products and more... Kalimera, good morning, In the picture above you can see: Crete is in autumn colors! The Erica heather colored the hills in a beautiful purple tint and slowly the leaves in the trees are changing their colors. Fortunately, the sun is still shining regularly, which gives you beautiful views. olives After the busy summer period with a lot of work and little rest, many Cretans still have work to do: the olives are being harvest. At the end of October, the first farmers started the hard work and at the end of February the last olives will be pressed. The olive oil factory in Kournas is not open every day, but they have started! raki The "Kazani", the raki distillery, is also in full operation. From 1 October until the end of November, the new stock of Tsikoudia (raki) will be replenished. Autumn on Crete Even in Crete the temperatures are lowering down and even though the sun shines, it is no summer anymore. And just like everywhere in Europe, the cold and flu virus is spreading around her, so it's time for the healthy Malotira, the Cretan mountain tea. As soon as the first signs of colds or flu appear, you get the best advice from everyone: drink a cup of mountaintea with honey and lemon and your complaints will soon be gone. More information about this particular herbal tea you can read here. Making raki in the Kazani In Kournas, farmer Stelios has a license to distill Tsikoudia and, together with his family, he is working here 6 days a week, from early morning until late evening. Stelios does not only distill his own Tsikoudia but also makes it for others who do not have a license. For example, for the Piperaki family, the owners of the village kafenion in Kournas. At several evenings, tourists from around the area could visit the Kazani to see how the traditional Tsikoudia is being distilled. And of course the fresh beverage must be tasted. Mandali in winter After the cozy, busy summer period, "Mandali" will be closed in the quiet winter period. Last week I cleaned the shop and, moved the story table inside, emptied the basket with the herbs, moved the plants, and much more. "Mandali" is now in hibernation, but no worries: I'll stay awake in the coming months. First, the olive harvest is on the program. Every year we help a number of friends with the harvest and this year I would like to make a photo report of the harvest. Also working out new plans, looking for new products, expanding assortments, planning new activities, trying out new recipes are on my program. And on beautiful sunny days it's time to relax, or time for a stroll or a discovery trip. Ordering local products at Mandali Didn't you bring enough olive oil to your home or has all the honey already been eaten? Are you looking for an original gift or are you coming to Crete with only handluggage? You don't have to worry, because here is a link to the list of products you can order at Mandali. Also the prices and shipping costs are written down here. I don't know the exact date of the next delivering, but it will be in february 2018.

    THE EARTH HAS MUSIC FOR THOSE WHO LISTEN For a lifetime I have travelled far and wide spreading the beauty of music. But today I’d like to take you on a different musical journey. One I have always wanted to share; The Glorious Music of Food. Demis Roussos For those who knew our father well, he was someone with a life-long passion for both music and distinctive food. They had always been for him the same art, the same passion. How many times had he secretly dreamt of exploring this passion of his, through selected culinary treasures of his land? ... Greece. Greece is a magical place, filled with sun drenched lands of the purest oil. It is an exceptionally abundant landscape brimming with healthy natural products full of delicious flavours which are harvested by friendly people who use methods that have been around for centuries and are deeply rooted in traditions with respect for the earth. It gives my brother and I great pleasure to have hand-selected these delicious natural products, which, just as our father’s musical instruments have been crafted by artisans who have taken their inspiration from the beauty and the energy of Greece and its ancient traditions. Our first DR family selection is an extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed in Crete, in that same exact village where our great grandfather, Artemios, chose to leave for a few years prior his departure for Egypt. Our father have always been particularly fond of Crete, a Greek island south of the mainland where the famous Cretan diet, consisting of untainted products, has provided since ancient times the secret to a long and healthy life.

  • How Is Tsipouro Made?
    Tsipouro is a pure grape distillate (pomace brandy) that is traditionally produced after the end of the harvest. One may come across different names for this classic spirit depending on the region of its origin (tsipouro, tsikoudia etc); at the same time, two versions are available: one with natural flavor (dominated by the grape varietal aromas) and a flavored one with the addition of anise. The Tsantali family has been producing Tsipouro for over 125 years using aromatic white and red varieries – mostly autochtonous like Assyrtiko, Athiri, Roditis and Xinomavro- grown in selected vineyards of the Macedonian land in Northern Greece. In order to safequard the highest quality of the spirit, all the stages of the process take place under controlled conditions as provided by for relevant legislation aiming at the safety of the consumer and the clear identification of the product. How is tsipouro made? The raw material for Tsipouro is healthy, high quality and well ripened aromatic grapes which are hand-harvested, destemmed and vinified in stainless steel tanks under controlled conditions in terms of temperature and environment. When the fermentation is completed, free-run wine is collected separately, while pomace (the grape skins) is transported into stainless steel tanks and stored under airtight conditions at low temperature until distillation. These factors are crucial in order for the pomace to maintain its aromatic character and quality properties that will be infused into the spirit to be produced. Distillation follows in small, discontinuous, copper-inox pot stills with steam. Pomace is distilled slowly and patiently at controlled low temperatures through a system of multiple plates.

  • Greek Traditional Cuisine Some Information for Greek Cuisine
    GREEK TRADITIONAL CUISINE SOME INFORMATION FOR GREEK CUISINE Greek cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine, sharing numerous characteristics with Middle Eastern cuisines of the region. Contemporary Greek cookery makes wide use of olive oil, vegetables and herbs, grains and bread, wine, fish, and various meats, including lamb, poultry, rabbit and pork. Greek cuisine has a long tradition and its flavors change with the season and its geography. Greek cookery, historically a forerunner of Western cuisine, spread its culinary influence - via ancient Rome - throughout Europe and beyond .It has influences from the different people's cuisine the Greeks have interacted with over the centuries, as evidenced by several types of sweets and cooked foods. It was Archestratos in 320 B.C. who wrote the first cookbook in history. Greece has a culinary tradition of some 4,000 years. Ancient Greek cuisine was characterized by its frugality and was founded on the "Mediterranean triad": wheat, olive oil, and wine, with meat being rarely eaten and fish being more common .This trend in Greek diet continued in Roman and Ottoman times and changed only fairly recently when technological progress has made meat more available. Wine and olive oil have always been a central part of it and the spread of grapes and olive trees in the Mediterranean and further afield is correlated with Greek colonization. The Greek cuisine is comprised of: •Kritiki (Cretan cuisine) •Ipirotiki (Epirotic cuisine) •Cuisine of the Ionian islands •Cuisine of the Aegean islands Wine The origins of wine-making in Greece go back 6,500 years and evidence suggesting wine production confirm that Greece is home to the oldest known grape wine remnants discovered in the world and the world’s earliest evidence of crushed grapes.
