Zalatina is a traditional Cypriot dish often enjoyed during festive occasions. It is a type of meat jelly, similar to head cheese or brawn, made by simmering pork meat and trotters with spices until the meat is tender and the broth gelatinizes. Once set, Zalatina is typically served cold as part of a meze platter, offering a savoury and tangy taste that pairs well with bread and pickles.
