Cretan Rusks can be combined with everything.

Rusks are equally important as bread.

Rusks remain fresh for a long time when stored in a dry place. Baking bread to rusks was a way to keep a supply of bread available for shepherds and farmers that were away from home. It is an eating habit many Cretans enjoy! Most popular type is barley round rusks baked in a traditional wooden oven.

Rusks are made of double baked bread slices. - Rusks are made of double baked bread slices.
