Lent is more accurate in general
In the “red” is also the increase in the prices of taramo salad and eggplant salad, since they have practically doubled.
Indicative:
Taramos salad (450 g.)
2023: 1,74€
2024: 3,44€
97.7% increase
Eggplant salad (250 g.)
2023: 1,06€
2024: 2,36€
122.6% increase
According to traders, the reason is the increase in the price of olive oil, which from February 2023 to February 2024 has risen 63.7%.
In view of Clean Monday, the price of the lagana is calculated:
2023 – 2024
Simple
Traditional with sesame 3 – 3.50€ 3.15 – 3.70€

It seems that any increase will not exceed 5%, with only the price of sesame having “stung”.
Only the lagans with extra ingredients (olives, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.) are expected to cost more than €4.
