In Albanian culture, bread has a significance beyond mere nutrition, being one of the fundamental elements of our hospitality

Albanian Ancient Social Code
The house of an Albanian belongs to God and to the guest.

Authenticity

“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire”

This famous quote from Gustav Mahler has been our mantra on our continuous work to rediscover our culinary tradition and reinventing Albanian cuisine.

We believe the only way to preserve our heritage is through continuous development. In our research work, we try to understand the patterns that define our heritage and expand on them by developing new flavors of Albanian Cuisine.
