9Mykonian Louza – Cured Pork Delicacy from Mykonos

Louza is a traditional cured meat from Mykonos, made by marinating pork loin with salt, pepper, and local spices before air-drying it in the Aegean breeze. The result is a flavorful and slightly spicy meat that is typically thinly sliced and served as an appetizer with bread and cheese. 

Louza’s unique taste is influenced by the island’s use of local herbs such as oregano and thyme, making it a must-try for visitors who appreciate artisanal charcuterie.
