Kalasouna, originating from Folegandros, is not your average cheese pie. It’s a testament to the island’s rich agricultural heritage and its residents’ creativity in the kitchen.
Unlike the more widespread versions found across Greece, Folegandros’ kalasouna is distinguished by its filling—a hearty and flavorful blend of local cheeses, onions, and a medley of herbs unique to the island’s terroir. The herbs, which might include thyme, oregano, and mint, are not just flavoring agents but a connection to the island’s wild, aromatic landscapes.
