grelia Dittany

The most famous herb of Cretan botany, Dittany, could not be abscent from GoldGrelia’s traditional Cretan fare.

“Erontas” (love in Greek) takes its name from the passion and desire of the Cretan to look for it in the steep rocky areas of mainland Crete.

Famous for its healing properties, dittany is a tonic and stimulant plant of the digestive system, antispasmodic, astringent, healing and soothing stomach pains.

Dittany paired with GoldGrelia’s honey products is a perfect combination to enjoy a favorite traditional recipe of Crete.

Put the dittany in boiling water for five minutes to absorb all the aromas, strain it and add a teaspoon of Cretan Honey!
