Shortly before Easter, the neighborhoods of the city of Corfu, in addition to the fragrance of the beautiful lilacs that bloom everywhere, are flooded with another unique aroma: that of the Easter bread of Corfu, the fogatsa, whose fragrance comes from kumquat liqueur. The bakeries and sweet shops of the island produce it as a feverish pace. A round-shaped variety of tsoureki, no festive table is complete without it.
