Suma
It is a variety of raki in Paros, which is only made by a specific part of the grape and is a social activity for the locals. You will hear them say “Let’s have souma” which foreshadows the first moments of celebration around the fire during the distillation process. The passion and love for the souma production it is apparent in the final product. When you’ll visit the local taverns choose it for yourself to accompany it with your delicious binners and buy some gifts for your loved ones.
Cheeses
You will find on the island cheeses of excellent quality like xynomyzithra, ladotyri, brine cheese, touloumisio and mizithra. They are perfectly combined with your wine and meal, and also the local housewives use them to make desserts-special and tasteful- like myzithropitakia, lamprokouloura and lazarakia or spoon sweets. It is worth tasting it with bread from a local bakery of Paros and through the desserts in which they are found as the basic ingredients.
Baklava with sugar
It is a combination of baklava and macaroons that has coarse almonds, grated rusk from Paros, cinnamon and vanilla. It is worth mentioning that instead of having a baklava dough, a thick layer of icing sugar is the base and the topping of the dessert. Try it and get thrilled by this special combination of flavours. Inevitably tasting it once will not be enough, as you’ll surely provide yourselves with some of it.
