Cretan Smoked Apaki

Apaki carries a character entirely its own, one that belongs to the mountains of Crete and the authentic flavours found there. It is the traditional smoked pork fillet of the island.

It is made from 100% lean pork fillet, marinated for two to three days in high-quality wine vinegar, which leaves a light, pleasant acidity that brings out the meat’s natural flavour. The fillet is then hung in a dedicated oven and naturally smoked over beech wood, together with aromatic herbs such as sage, thyme and oregano. Their combination gives apaki its rich aroma and distinctive taste.
