Inflight catering menu for Heraklion

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Heraklion departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenGreece

To start
Dakos with Heirloom Tomato and Aged Mizithra
Cretan barley rusk softened with ripe tomato concassé, crumbled aged mizithra, Kalamata olive, and a measure of cold-pressed Cretan extra-virgin olive oil. Assembled to order and portioned for individual service.
Cold main
Chilled Red Mullet with Fennel and Citrus
Local red mullet, poached and chilled, served over shaved fennel with a light dressing of lemon, dill, and caperberries. Galley-ready in individual portions, requiring no reheating.
Hot main
Slow-Braised Lamb Shoulder with Stamnagathi Greens
Lamb shoulder braised low and slow with Cretan herbs and dry white wine, accompanied by wilted stamnagathi — a bitter wild green native to the island — and a reduction of the cooking juices.
To finish
Cretan Graviera and Honey with Toasted Walnuts
A selection of aged graviera from the island's central plateau, served with Cretan thyme honey and toasted walnuts. Simple, unhurried, and entirely of its place.
Morning
Spanakopita Bites with Sheep's Milk Feta
Individually portioned filo parcels filled with wilted spinach, fresh herbs, and Cretan sheep's milk feta. Baked to order and packaged warm for immediate galley service.
Pâtisserie
Loukoumades with Thyme Honey and Sesame
Traditional Cretan honey fritters, prepared fresh and finished with a drizzle of cold thyme honey and a scatter of toasted sesame. Packaged in a ventilated box to preserve their texture in transit.

Inflight Catering · Heraklion

Inflight catering for Heraklion flights

Heraklion sits at the heart of one of the Mediterranean's most storied food cultures. The Cretan table has been refined over millennia — olive oil pressed from groves that pre-date most European cuisines, honey drawn from thyme-covered hillsides, and cheeses whose names are protected across the continent. For Heraklion private jet catering, this larder is not a marketing claim; it is the literal source of what we place in your galley. The island's producers operate on a scale that rewards direct relationships. We work with small-batch cheesemakers, fishermen landing their catch at dawn, and family estates bottling single-origin oils. That supply chain means a guest boarding at Heraklion receives ingredients that were, in many cases, harvested the same morning — a provenance that no centrally warehoused catering operation can replicate.

Regional Catering Menu · Heraklion

Heraklion private jet catering

Cretan cuisine resists simplification. Its foundations — legumes slow-cooked with wild greens, lamb roasted over aromatic wood, dakos topped with ripe tomato and aged mizithra — reward passengers who want to arrive somewhere having already tasted where they have been. Our menus for aircraft catering departures from Heraklion draw on these traditions without reducing them to folkloric gestures. A chilled seafood course built around just-landed red mullet, a warm main of slow-braised lamb shoulder with stamnagathi greens, or a pastry selection centred on honey-drenched loukoumades: each is composed and packaged for the galley without sacrificing the integrity of the dish. For passengers with specific requirements — kosher, allergen-managed, or bespoke dietary programmes — we ask for twenty-four hours' notice on kosher orders to guarantee full chain-of-custody compliance. All other requirements are handled through your single point of contact, who remains reachable around the clock, every day of the year.
