A tradition handed down from mother to daughter
Inspired by an ancient recipe also known as “maggiri”, this workshop perpetuates an ancestral savoir-faire. The pasta is cooked in two stages: one part is boiled, while the other is browned in a pan, then combined, creating a tasty, comforting pasta, traditionally served with fresh cheese. . Aspasia buys fresh milk every morning from a shepherd, guaranteeing the purity of the family recipe.
Typical Cretan products and tastes
Fusilli, kri-tharaki, penes: made with wheat semolina, free-range eggs and sheep’s milk – delicious texture, authentic flavours.
Creative variations: pasta with basil, squid ink, kinoa, turmeric, wholegrain orzo or vegetables to bring color and indulgence.
All products are slowly dried at low temperatures to preserve taste and nutrients, with no artificial flavoring added.
Cooking tips and tasty uses
Boil half the pasta in salted water for 2-3 min.
Brown the other half in local olive oil until crisp.
Mix the two parts in a broth, add cheese or season to taste.
