Baklava: Layers of blissful sweetness

Baklava is the crown jewel among Greek desserts and enchants with its delicate layers of crispy phyllo dough, butter and a tempting nut filling (often a mix of walnuts, pistachios or almonds). What makes baklava so special is the luscious syrup based on honey, lemon and aromatic spices such as cinnamon and cloves. Each bite offers a symphony of textures and flavours that takes you to the heart of Greece. In our webshop, you will find fresh baklava and ravani baked by a befriended baker from Groningen. Super fresh and top quality.

Loukoumades: gentle perfection

Loukoumades are bite-sized doughnuts baked golden yellow and then soaked in a syrup of honey, cinnamon and citrus zest. These airy and addictive treats are often served with a sprinkle of crushed walnuts or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. The combination of the crunchy outside and the soft, airy inside makes for a divine dessert experience.

Galaktoboureko: creamy bliss

Galaktoboureko is a classic Greek dessert with creamy semolina pudding coated in layers of golden, crispy phyllo dough. It is usually served warm and topped with a sweet syrup that adds a delicious touch of sweetness. With every bite, you taste the contrast between the velvety custard and the crispy dough, creating a harmonious and satisfying dessert.

Kataifi: The shredded pleasure

Kataifi is a unique and visually stunning dessert that consists of shredded phyllo dough filled with a sweet nut mixture, similar to baklava. The shredded dough gives kataifi its characteristic appearance, resembling a nest. After it is baked golden, it is drizzled with a sweet syrup and often garnished with chopped pistachios or cinnamon. Kataifi offers a delicious combination of textures and flavours that will enchant your senses.

Ravani: a citrus delight

Ravani is a moist and aromatic semolina cake infused with orange or lemon syrup. The combination of semolina and ground almonds creates a unique texture, while the citrusy syrup adds a touch of freshness. Often served with a little icing sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, Revani is a delicious dessert that showcases the Mediterranean flavours of Greece.

Kourabiedes: buttery shortbread biscuit

Kourabiedes are traditional Greek butter biscuits that cannot be missed during festive occasions, especially Christmas.

Melomakarona: Festive honey biscuits

Melomakarona are spiced honey biscuits traditionally eaten during the holidays, especially around Christmas and New Year. These soft and aromatic biscuits are made with a combination of flour, olive oil, orange juice and honey.
