点评:f you are in Olympia, you MUST visit Klio's honey farm. Our visit took place late in the afternoon on May 1st. It was a cold, overcast day.
When we walked up to the farm, we were greeted by Klio who then escorted us to the backyard to begin our experience. We were seated at a small table and given some much needed water and a spoon of preserved Quince, which I had never had. Klio explained that Quince was the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve were tempted with. Temptation aside, the preserved Quince was incredible. Klio took the Tim to explain her family tradition behind it, which I find to be important.
Klio then gave us the two experience options, we chose the shorter version. We began our experience in the small museum which was housed in her grandmother's home. Klio explained the beekeeping process which I knew very little about. Up to this point, we had seen honey being sold everywhere, but we learned from Klio that to the Greeks, honey is a religion, and has been a part of Greek life going back to antiquity.
After the museum, we moved to the front yard to sample some of Klio's honey which was poured over Diples which are thin, crispy dough sheets that are rolled or folded, fried until golden in olive oil. very bite was heaven.
We could not leave without buying some of Klio's honey and preserved Quince. While making our purchases, we got to meet Klio's family who were so very welcoming. We then got on the topic of the Greek diet which Klio and her family took the time to explain to us based upon their daily life. Needless to say, we are incorporating many aspects of it into our daily life.
翻译:如果你在奥林匹亚,一定要去克里奥的蜂蜜农场看看。我们是在5月1日下午晚些时候去的,那天阴冷。
我们走到农场门口,克里奥热情地接待了我们,并带我们到后院开始体验。我们被安排在一张小桌子旁坐下,服务员递给我们一些水和一勺腌榅桲,我以前从没吃过。克里奥解释说,榅桲是亚当和夏娃用来诱惑他们的禁果。抛开诱惑不谈,这腌榅桲的味道真是太棒了。克里奥还给我们讲解了她家制作榅桲的传统,我觉得这很重要。
之后,克里奥给我们介绍了两种体验方式,我们选择了较短的那种。我们的体验从她祖母家的小型博物馆开始。克里奥给我们讲解了养蜂的过程,我对这方面了解甚少。在此之前,我们到处都能看到蜂蜜的身影,但从克里奥那里我们才知道,对希腊人来说,蜂蜜是一种信仰,自古以来就是希腊生活的一部分。
参观完博物馆后,我们来到克里奥家前院品尝她家的蜂蜜。蜂蜜淋在迪普勒斯(Diples)上,这是一种薄脆的面饼,卷起来或折叠起来,用橄榄油炸至金黄。每一口都令人回味无穷。
我们当然不能错过克里奥的蜂蜜和腌制榅桲。购物时,我们遇到了克里奥一家,他们非常热情好客。之后,我们聊起了希腊饮食,克里奥和她的家人耐心地根据他们的日常生活向我们讲解。不用说,我们已经将其中的许多元素融入到我们的日常生活中。
