					<description><![CDATA[The Cephalonian fir stretches across much of Greece, from the rugged mountains of the Peloponnese and Central Greece to Cephalonia, Euboea, and even the sacred slopes of Mount Olympus and Mount Athos. Vanilla honey, however, is far more selective. It blossoms solely within the fir forests of the Peloponnese, with Mount Mainalo in Arcadia as [&#8230;]]]></description>

At its heart lies the paximadi, the Cretan barley rusk, hard as stone until it’s touched by a little water and a little extra virgin olive oil.

					<description><![CDATA[My passion for high-quality products—those worth bringing from the southern Peloponnese to a city like Berlin—led me to the wild coasts of Mani, perhaps the most beautiful and rugged landscape in the Peloponnese. There, where cliffs drop sharply into the sea and the light seems to scrape against the rocks, the people of the small [&#8230;]]]></description>
