The kneading, the opening and the cutting of the flomaria in previous times were synonym of celebration. Housewives gathered from house to house to make the flomaria of each family, sing, gossip and at the end eat together. The cutting of the pasta would define the skills of a housewife.
The flomaria were made during the summer months for them to dry properly, and then stored to provide a quick and hearty meal during the cold winter months.
The flomaria are used in many traditional Lemnos recipes with meat or vegetables and soups. Here are some traditional dishes with flomaria:
Rooster with tomato sauce and flomaria: traditional dish of Lemnos cooked at all local celebrations and holidays.
Partridge in a tomato sauce with flomaria
Flomaria with eggplant cooked in oil (or plain with fresh tomato)
Flomaria with snails

Whole emmer wheat flour is kneaded into a shape that revives a centuries-old tradition common in the Mediterranean region.This handmade pasta goes by different names in different regions and countries: in Crete, it’s called “sioufichta”; in Chios “herisia”; in Cyprus “smilota”; and in Italy “casarecci”. In the past, thin sheets of dough were rolled and twisted, hence the name striftaria (twists), by hand or with the help of a thin wooden rod. Today in Agrozimi we carry on the toothsome tradition producing striftaria pasta made with whole emmer wheat flour, and no added salt. It holds sauce well and makes an ideal basis for pasta salads, remaining delicious for hours after serving thanks to its shape.
