served warm with olive oil and lemon and sometimes topped with chopped onions
or capers.

Apochti is another traditional food found in Santorini. Pork loin is salted and then
placed in vinegar before being air-dried. Later, a mixture of pepper and cinnamon is

hardens, it is ready to be used in a variety of recipes.

sesame seeds.
