Athienitiko Bread

Athienitiko bread is one of the most recognizable traditional products of Cyprus and a symbol of Athienou. For decades, residents have been cultivating wheat, milling flour, and kneading bread with simple, pure ingredients, keeping alive a centuries-old baking tradition.

The preparation process is based on sourdough, quality flour from local wheat varieties, and slow, careful baking in ovens that give the bread its unique taste and aroma. The round 'common Cypriot bread' of Athienou has become famous throughout Cyprus, and the baking tradition has been recognized as an element of intangible cultural heritage at the national level.
