Vavourakis Organic Apaki 300g
Apaki is a traditional Cretan seasoned meat made from lean pork which has been lightly smoked over olive wood, sage, marjoram and thyme and then marinated in vinegar, pepper, and cumin. This delicious bouquet of herbs gives the meat a rich flavour that makes it a stand-out. The Vavourakis family farm stretches out over 170 acres in the mountainous region of Lampini in Crete. This rugged landscape, with its low, bushy vegetation is ideal for organic stock raising. Here, the pigs - grouped according to age - live a truly free range and happy life, moving around out in the open with small, movable huts they can use for shelter. They are supplemented with bunches of oregano as a treat that also aids their digestion and boosts immunity.
