Kumquat is one of Corfu’s trademarks. A small orange with a bitter sweet taste used mostly in confectionaries (jams, jellies, spoon sweets and tarts). They also make an exceptional liqueur out of it.
Before leaving Corfu do not forget to try Mandoles (caramelized almonds), Pasteli (honey bars with sesame and pistachios), Tzitzibira (local ginger beer) and Mandolato (nougat with almonds, sugar, honey and vanilla).
