The Fasolada Festival, organised by Aristotelis, Florina’s Cultural Centre in Melbourne was a huge success.
Servings of fasolada (baked bean soup) were dished out by volunteers and visitors got to taste the flavoursome baked bean soup that has been served at Whittlesea since 1992.
The steamy Greek dish has always held a place in people’s hearts and has been a staple in many Greek households. So much so, that it conjures nostalgia.
As every year, the soup was accompanied by sardines, olives and fresh bread.
Numerous guests were present at the event, including Victoria’s Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio, Whittlesea Councillors Kris Pavlidou and Mary Lalios, Bank of Sydney Manager Sotiris Mavromatis and more.
