A cheese pie that captures the flavour and hospitality of Arta
Discover the kassiopita of Arta, a gastronomic gem that expresses with simplicity and deliciousness the soul of Epirote cuisine. ‘Kassiou’ in Vlach means cheese and it is a traditional cheese pie, distinguished by its simple yet at the same time rich character. The kassiopita is a culinary experience deeply rooted in the daily life and hospitality of the place. It links the past with the present and turns every table into a celebration.
It is made with pure, local ingredients, such as cornflour or plain flour , eggs, milk and local cheese (usually feta or traditional white cheese from the region) and delights with its velvety texture and its full, balanced flavour. It contains no pastry, which makes it particularly light, while baking brings out the aromas and the natural deliciousness of the ingredients. It is a dish simple in appearance, yet unique in depth of flavour.
The kassiopita accompanies every moment of the day perfectly: it is enjoyed as a hearty breakfast, as a midday meal or as a traditional treat at celebrations and family gatherings. In Arta, it can be found in local bakeries, tavernas and homes, where it is prepared using recipes passed down from generation to generation, keeping the cultural identity of the region alive.
If you are looking for authentic gastronomic experiences, let the flavour of the kassiopita accompany you even after the journey, as an experience that does not end in the moment, but becomes part of memory. Experience tradition through gastronomy and taste one of Arta’s most authentic treasures.
