The ancient olive tree, the kumquat and the “tsitsimbira”

How many of us know the legendary “Lianolia”, a rare and historical olive variety that thrives only in Corfu? How is tsitsimbira made and why is it considered to be better than the regular soft drinks? What is this famous “golden orange” and how did it become a trademark of the island? Through the oil, the tsitsimbira and the kumquat we detect the gastronomic peculiarity and superiority of Corfu. We tour the ancient olive grove, we visit the olive mill of the Daphne family, we taste all the delicious variations of kumquat in Lazaris’ workshop and finally, we cool off with an iced tsitsimbira in the family’s business premises of George and Maria Heimariou. A route to the colors and aromas of Corfu.
