In recent years, food and wine tourism has gained a place of honour among the preferences of travellers from all over the world. This phenomenon, constantly growing, is fuelled by the growing awareness that food is a significant expression of the cultural identity of a place. Food and wine tourists are looking for authentic experiences, eager to taste typical dishes prepared with local ingredients and to discover the secrets of recipes handed down from generation to generation to savour not only the scents and aromas of a place, but also its culture. This sector is increasingly flourishing in Kefalonia too. Excellent raw materials, a fascinating mix of different cultures (primarily Venetian and Ottoman) and the blend of ancient traditional recipes and modern culinary concepts have given life to a wide and worth-trying food and wine panorama on the island. Among the main ingredients we find grilled or baked meat, goat cheese, garlic, cinnamon, tomato sauce, aromatic herbs such as oregano, marjoram, mint and fennel, honey and filo pastry.
