Malta’s cuisine is hearty, rustic, and delicious. The word “Malta” is derived from the Greek word Miel, which means “honey.” The island’s natural produce is abundant, including its famous golden yellow honey, local sheep cheese ‘gbejna,’ cold-pressed olive oil, and pure sea salt from the surrounding seas. The local cuisine on this Mediterranean-inspired island is influenced by Italy, Spain, North Africa, and the United Kingdom. The island’s traditional cuisine is a healthy, balanced Mediterranean diet consisting of seafood, delicious fresh fruit and vegetables, and the infamous Maltese bread from traditional bakeries. Malta has recently received Michelin recognition, elevating the dining scene.
