Naxian cuisine stands out for its authenticity and flavor.
It is a cuisine replete with fragrances of the earth and the sea, full of products of unique taste, and ideal base for novel, tasteful and nutritious dishes.
Naxian cuisine carries the distillate of many different elements of a rich and age-old culture.
They are frugal and unpretentious elements, exactly as those of the earth where the culture sprang from. With flavors, colors and fragrances such as those of the olive tree, the grapes, the thyme and the citrus fruit.
The frugality of the means of ages past is reflected in many imaginative dishes made with local materials and pure products that defy time to excite even the most demanding palates. Their main feature, however, is the balance of flavors and the purity of ingredients of the Naxian cuisine that make it ideal for health and longevity – in line with the famous Mediterranean cuisine of which it is part.
