The Taste Atlas review

1. Peaches of Naoussa: These juicy peaches are grown in Central Macedonia. The excellent weather and soil conditions combined with the systematic cultivation made them the most popular fruits in Greece…. Due to their rich aroma and sweet taste, they are highly sought after by consumers both in Greece and beyond, especially in the markets of Europe and the Arabian Peninsula, where they are sold from the end of May to the end of October. Six chocolates that we loved as children and continue to eat.

7. Mandarins of Chios: …. This mandarin variety is one of the most fragrant in the world. Even when they are unripe, the persistence of their aroma will make everyone fall in love with them at the first bite. Curiously, their aroma escapes from the citrus groves, conquering the entire island, making Chios known both in Greece and abroad as a fragrant island.
