Retour aux actusSourdough bread, known locally as "psomi me prozymi," is gaining attention in Crete and across Greece as consumers become more aware of ultra-processed foods. Unlike commercial packaged breads, traditional sourdough is made using only flour, water, salt, and a natural fermented starter culture, placing it outside the category of ultra-processed products. The slow fermentation process improves digestibility and nutritional value. For visitors exploring Crete, this distinction is worth knowing when shopping at local bakeries or markets. Authentic Cretan sourdough loaves are widely available at traditional "fournos" (bakeries) in towns and villages across the island. Choosing them over supermarket packaged bread is both a healthier option and a genuine taste of local food culture. Ask your host or hotel for the nearest artisan bakery to find fresh-baked sourdough made the traditional way.
