Pontic Greek Cuisine is a traditional culinary style originating from the Pontus region on the southern coast of the Black Sea. It features a variety of dishes that often include fresh herbs, vegetables, and seafood, reflecting the area's rich natural resources. Common ingredients include rice, lamb, and yogurt, with meals typically seasoned with spices like cinnamon and allspice. One of the hallmark dishes is kavourmas, a type of preserved meat, while manti, a type of dumpling, is also popular. Pontic Greeks often prepare meals using methods passed down through generations, emphasizing communal dining and the use of local ingredients.
