The “Taste Map” of Greece is compiled by the electronic tasting center Taste Atlas – an encyclopedia that highlights the best food and drink from around the world every year.
Greek products and dishes often make it onto the lists of this platform: souvlaki, village salad (horiatiki), tzatziki, graviera and dakos, which from time to time receive several praises and awards.
