Greek Honey and Cheese Tasting

6 Honeys • 6 Cheeses • A Journey Through Greek Flavour

Cost €50 per person, duration 90 minutes, time: 12 p.m. on Friday / Saturday and Monday.

At Olicatessen, a new tasting experience invites you to explore one of the most captivating pairings in Greek gastronomy: honey and cheese. Two products shaped by the land, the climate and centuries of tradition — brought together in a way that feels both timeless and unexpectedly exciting.

During this experience, guests sample 6 distinctive Greek honeys alongside 6 carefully selected Greek cheeses, discovering pairings that celebrate contrast, balance and flavour harmony. You’ll experience how honey’s natural sweetness, aromatic depth and texture can transform cheese — softening sharp edges, enhancing complexity or creating a completely new conversation on the palate.

Hosted at Olicatessen, the tasting introduces participants to the rich diversity of Greek honey, its botanical origins and flavour profiles, from delicate floral expressions to bolder, more structured varieties with lingering intensity. At the same time, guests dive into the world of Greek cheese, learning about raw materials, production techniques, ageing processes and how terroir, seasonality and time shape taste and texture.

Through guided tasting and sensory exploration, you’ll learn the essential principles behind successful honey and cheese pairing — how sweetness, acidity, fat, salt and overall intensity come into balance. Along the way, storytelling from producers, practical tips and inspiration make it easy to recreate refined pairings at home.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to experience Greek gastronomy at its finest — immersive, flavour-led and deeply connected to place.
The tasting is equivalent to a light meal and is designed for food lovers, curious explorers and anyone looking to experience something truly memorable at the country’s leading delicatessen.
