Albanian Desserts. Albanian desserts originate from either Turkey or Greece and are popular all over the Balkans. These dishes are inspired from both Western and Eastern civilizations. The desserts that are entirely Albanian consist of local fruits, which are used both for compotes and for various types of cakes or pies.
The shendetlie is a delicious traditional Albanian cake made of walnuts and honey, soaked in a sugar syrup. It is considered a cousin of the ravani, which doesn’t contain any walnuts or syrup, but is made in a similar way.
One of the most popular is Sideritis also known as mountain tea because it’s grown in the mountains. This tea is everywhere, there’s so much that you probably would never have to buy it. Another popular Albanian tea is cherry tail tea which helps with an array of problems too and is a little sweet and a little bitter.
Like coffee, wine is an important part of Albanian cuisine and culture. That’s because Albanians have been making wine for thousands of years. They have some of the best climate and terrain for grape growing, grapes are everywhere in the summer! One of the best places to taste local wine is a winery called Cabo, in Berat.
