Traditional cheeses from Epirus are first in the preferences of the consumers with a percentage of 94.3%, followed by dairy products with 69.4% and wines with 39.1%.
The above results are included in the market research prepared by the Laboratory of Food Chemistry of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Ioannina, in collaboration with the Region of Epirus and concerns the traditional food of Epirus. The aim of the research is to make a first assessment of consumers’ views on these foods.
