WINE AND WINERIES IN MALTA\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"MALTA<\/p>\n

Grapes planted in Malta’s hot and humid climate ripen significantly faster than those<\/span> grown in cooler climates. Wineries are careful to plant varietals that are well-suited<\/span> to the limestone terroir. Leading European scientists examine soil samples to<\/span> determine which cultivars can thrive in this environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wine business in the area is reaping the benefits of decades of hard work.<\/span> Several local wines can be found on the shelves of UK supermarkets, and with good<\/span> reason. Therefore, the secret of Maltese wines is only now being discovered by Northern<\/span> European markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Maltese Islands have lots to offer whether wine is your pastime, passion, or<\/span> favorite addition to a social dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malta’s wine production may not be as well-known as that of its larger Mediterranean<\/span> neighbors, but Maltese vintages are holding their own in international competition,<\/span> earning awards in France, Italy, and other countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Carignan, Chenin Blanc, and<\/span> Moscato are some of the international grape varieties planted here. The indigenous<\/span> types Gellewza and Ghirghentina, for example, provide superb wines with distinct<\/span> body and flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A visit to the vineyards and wineries on the island, accompanied by a wine tasting in<\/span> Malta is certainly an experience to do for all lovers of good wine and also for those<\/span> who are simply curious to try local wines in a island so small but full of experiences<\/span> to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

FOOD IN MALTA\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

MALTESE COUSINE\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Maltese cuisine is varied, drawing on a wide range of influences from different ages. Surprisingly, most traditional Maltese recipes are not influenced by Italian cuisine, but by Proven\u00e7al cuisine. Most traditional dishes are cooked in wine, which is a hallmark of Proven\u00e7al cuisine and represents the influence of the Johannites on the Maltese islands. Despite that, the most generally available cuisine in restaurants is Italian cuisine. <\/span><\/p>\n

Two of the more basic dishes from the Maltese Islands are maybe the most iconic. The first are the\u00a0 Pastizzi. Pastizzi <\/span>are a\u00a0 flaky filo-style pastries filled with sweet ricotta or mashed peas. For many this is the most iconic Maltese food<\/span><\/p>\n

The ftira bi-ejt, often known in English as Maltese bread, is another popular dish with locals and visitors alike. The classic Maltese ftira is a ring-shaped pastry with a crispy exterior and a fluffy within. Ftira can be prepared entirely according to your wishes,after that the typical filling consists of tuna, tomato paste, fresh tomatoes, capers, olives, red onions and basil, among other ingredients. Beside that other ingredients are often added such as Maltese bejna, Maltese sausage and bigilla.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of their near proximity to Italy, the Maltese Islands have developed their<\/span> own version of pizza. Many restaurants use a classic Maltese-style pizza dough,<\/span> which is a cross between Roman and Neapolitan dough, with a medium-high crust<\/span> that is highly crunchy. With restaurants selling a variety of dough kinds, you’ll be able<\/span> to eat whichever pizza you like throughout your visit to Malta!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MALTESE SEAFOOD AND LAMPUKI \u2026<\/b><\/h4>\n

As you would expect from an island, Malta has some of the best and freshest seafood in Europe, some of which can only be properly tasted on the island. Above all, the lampuki, also known as the dorado, dolphinfish, or mahi-mahi, depending on where you’re from. This fish is unique to the Maltese Islands because it migrates through Maltese waters from mid-August to December, before heading to the Gulf of Mexico, where it will grow to enormous proportions!<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, the lampuki obtained in Malta is young, and the flesh is incredibly delicate and soft, requiring just a few minutes to cook. The Lampuki is usually served with a traditional Maltese tomato sauce and the addition of capers and olives or grilled;\u00a0 or cooked with olive oil, garlic, chilli, and parsley,.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
