THE TRADITIONAL BREAKFAST IN HOTEL GLARENTZA
In an environment characterized by the warmth and authenticity of taste, we invite you to get flavor and color from our lives.
It is well known , how beneficial and healthy is for everyone to start his day with a full breakfast. After all, it is generally believed that breakfast is actually the holiday meal, in order to have a day full of activities, action and adventures.
The Greek breakfast is rich and varies from place to place shaping the tradition, combined with the beauty and the greatness of our country, since both in ancient Greece and in Mikra Asia (place of our origin), we have the legacy of these raw materials, which provide us with products highly nutritional in value and quality. These raw materials are responsibly chosen and based on quality, are cooked here at our hotel with love, and artistry and allow me to use the word ‘devoutness’ by Mrs. Kiki, who has been doing her best for 40 years in order to get visitors to know through her traditional recipes, the Greek culture of the traditional Greek family , the way she was taught by her mother and grandmother. She is also willing, when there is a demand, to pass her knowledge to whoever wants , by preparing the dishes in front of them and by explaining every step, so as when they return back to their country to let friends and relatives know what the Greek breakfast offered.
It is our own principle for our own family business, to put aside the ‘status quo’ since we do not offer a plain ‘international ‘ breakfast but we give it the style, the colour, the tradition and the intensity that applies to our country , where the sun shines differently, the moon , the mountains, the sea, the air.
That is why we focus on the quality of the raw materials, on the spices so as to emerge all the flavors and the colors for the pleasure of the three senses (vision , taste and smell.)
So you can enjoy omelets and soutzoukia with their aromas, without complex sauces, enriched with spices in balanced doses. Vegetables, fruits {strawberries from the region of Manolada fertilized by bees and mainly by using natural ways) milkpie and honey.
The semolina Halva, the Milky desserts and the rice puddings are among the daily homemade desserts..
CHEESE & BREAKFAST
The white and yellow cheese, each one bearing a distinct flavor, particularly the aged and those which include spices and herbs and the famous ladotyri.
Lovely olives from our olive groves, which you can visit, Black, green, stuffed, small-large, bready and sweet! Also traditional breakfast with tomato, cucumber, olives, white cheese and cream. The breakfast menu also includes an array of omelets, toasts and sandwiches, bakery products, teas and juices, and of course the hot coffee that will warm you up during the cold winter mornings, but if you wish you can ask us to serve you hot, fresh milk with foam {this occurs in fresh milk when it is heated, that is to say the butter from the milk}.
In the wooden board breakfast you will find the warm bread that is kneaded with yeast.
Our lovely (kaimaki) butter with honey.
Our lovely (kaϊmaki) butter with honey
We give you a taste. Heat slightly the honey until its temperature reaches to 40 °C, i.e. until it is fluid and slightly lukewarm. Remove from the heat and add the butter, lemon juice and zest. Mix and stir very well and fill a jar. Keep the spread in the refrigerator. Since it is refrigerated the butter is separated from the honey so every time that we have to serve it, it needs good stirring. But there is no need to wait for it to come to room temperature to spread it, since due to the honey is kept soft.
Other herbs we use in salad is and the Samphire that is gathered in the summer and with which we make salads with garlic , vinegar and oil.
