Traditional Revivals (Anogyra)
Preparation of Pastellaki - Halloumi Cheese - Essential Oils
Nestled on the southern slopes of the Troodos mountains, overlooking Pissouri Bay, Anogyra Village is a picturesque spot just a few kilometers off the Lemessos-Pafos highway. For centuries, this village has been surrounded by carob orchards and is famed for its unique carob-based products, especially pasteli—a natural, nutrient-rich treat known as the "Black Gold" of Cyprus. During WWII, it sustained countless families across the island.
This family business is running for 40 years now, conveying the traditional art of the brand Pasteli as inherited.
Witness the intricate and labor-intensive process behind this beloved Cypriot sweet.
*Follow the process of the most iconic cheese in the world-halloumi.
