10Fava Santorinis – Santorini’s Signature Dish
One of Santorini’s most famous dishes, fava is a creamy, smooth purée made from yellow split peas. Unlike the broad bean fava found in other countries, Santorini’s fava is unique due to the island’s volcanic soil, which gives the peas a distinct, slightly sweet flavor.
Traditionally served warm with olive oil, onions, and capers, fava is a simple yet delicious dish that showcases the island’s agricultural heritage. Pair it with a glass of local Assyrtiko wine for an authentic Santorini experience.
