Travixtes Manis – Mani-Style Pita Bread Fried in Eumelia Extra Virgin Olive Oil -
A Story Behind the Tradition
Travixtes, meaning “stretched,” get their name from the way they are shaped. The dough is gently pulled by hand before frying, keeping the air inside, which helps them puff up in the hot oil. This is the traditional pita bread of Mani, used in the Tripleta—a simple but classic combination of a souvlaki stick, a Travixti pita, and a slice of local sheep and goat cheese.
