One of the key components of Greek cooking is the extensive use of olive oil. The Greeks are known for producing some of the finest olive oils in the world, not only adding a unique flavor but also providing numerous health benefits.

In addition to olive oil, herbs like oregano, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves are commonly used to enhance the aroma and taste of various dishes. These herbs bring a touch of Mediterranean warmth to the palate.

Traditional Greek Dishes

While souvlaki, gyros, and moussaka are some of the most well-known Greek dishes around the world, Greek cuisine offers so much more. Spanakopita, dolmades, baklava, and tzatziki are just a few examples of the many flavor-packed delicacies that await.

Spanakopita, a savory pie filled with spinach, feta cheese, and herbs, is a popular appetizer that perfectly showcases the freshness and simplicity of Greek cuisine. The flaky phyllo pastry combined with the creamy feta creates a heavenly culinary experience.

Dolmades, vine leaves stuffed with a flavorful rice and herb filling, are another staple of Greek cuisine. They are often served as a light snack or appetizer, showcasing the Greek love for using fresh ingredients in inventive ways.
