Santorini «Married» Fava

Fava is one of the most distinguished products of Santorini’s volcanic soil. Thanks to the dry climate and the sea breeze, it develops a deep yellow color and distinctive flavor. When combined with other ingredients such as onion, capers, or tomato, locals call it «married.» The texture is velvety, with olive oil giving it a rich, silky feel, while the sauce and garnish of capers, onions, and local cherry tomatoes add intensity, aromatic depth, and a refreshing acidity that blends beautifully with the creamy base. It is ideally served with fresh bread or barley rusks and accompanied by white wine.
