Tsamarella

Sun-dried goat meat is another Cypriot centuries-old delicacy and one of the country's most prized cold cuts, particularly associated with Marathasa Valley, Pitsilia, and Paphos. Traditionally, tsamarella is made with goat thigh, the leanest and most valued cut of the animal.

The meat is heavily salted, flavored with oregano, and has a pleasant, gamey flavor. After being cooked, tsamarella is typically served as meze, accompanied with alcoholic drinks such as Cypriot grappa known as zivania.
