A pie that "hides" the Greek tradition and the way of life of another era, is proposed for today by chef Rafail Pateras, in the context of the "World of Flavors" series.


Batzina is a traditional pie of Thessaly which is made without a dough and with few ingredients.

This pie is particularly thin and its name comes from the word batzos (or batsos) which is a Greek white, hard goat and sheep's milk cheese, originating from Western Macedonia.
