NOTES<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Trahana<\/strong> is one of the oldest foods in Greek cuisine. It is considered as a fine way to preserve milk. It is always made at the end of the summer when there is enough heat to dry the morsels quickly but also because the summer is a time, when there is an excess of milk. Dairy-based trahana comes in two types: sweet and sour. Sweet is made with whole milk, typically goat\u2019s milk, and sour trahana is made with yogurt or buttermilk. Milk, buttermilk or yogurt, are mixed into the wheat flour or semolina to form a thick mass. Once the ingredients have been combined, they are broken into chunks, dried, and then broken up into smaller pieces.<\/li>\n
  2. Lountza <\/u><\/strong>comes from Cypriot cuisine and it\u2019s made of pork tenderloin, which is first brined and marinated in red wine, then dried and smoked. The Cypriot Greek word \u2018lountza\u2019 derives from \u2018lonza stagionata\u2019, the Italian term for cured pork, and points to the introduction of pork specialties on the island when the Venetians ruled it during the sixteenth century. In the northern Cyclades islands of Greece (Mykonos, Syros, Serifos, Andros, Tinos & Tzia), louza is a special preserved pork loin.<\/li>\n
  3. Kef<\/u>alograviera<\/u><\/strong> is a greek salted table\u00a0cheese\u00a0produced traditionally from sheep’s milk or mixture of sheep’s and goat’s milk. The cheese has a salty flavor and rich aroma. It is an excellent cheese for grating, and is widely used as a topping for pasta dishes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
