''Rovitsa'' from Kalamata 500 grams

Rovitsa or rouvitsa from Kalamata! Its cultivation in Greece dates back to prehistoric times and started again a few years ago as a "response" to the demand of the time for more and more Mediterranean products.

The rovitsa is prepared without the need for soaking. We find it as a food cooked as a soup or as a salad with enough onion, oregano and lemon that enhance its taste!

    It is also served as pancakes for breakfast, as a dessert or ice cream for dessert. Finally, we find it even in the form of paste, powdered, as puree!
