dictionary

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is the kind of olive oil produced by natural and mechanical methods, the acidity of which, expressed in oleic acid, does not exceed 1g / 100g and has perfect aroma, taste, and high nutritional value. It is superior in quality compared to regular olive oil, which is created by mixing virgin olive oil and refined olive oil, making it organoleptically and physicochemically inferior.

Traditional local recipe

A recipe that reflects the cultural heritage of a place and has been shaped not only by the special geographic features of each region but also in accordance with the local agricultural and livestock production. This explains the multitude of recipes featuring minor yet significant variations, in which lies the uniqueness of each place.

Country style whole wheat grain Filo

The production method of whole wheat food means that the entire wheat kernel is ground up, without removal of its bran. Thus, whole wheat products are made with flour from the whole grain of wheat and are a source of fibre that contributes to good physical function.

Puff pastry

Puff pastry is a type of pastry sheet made with alternating layers of dough and butter, which separates into dozens of slim layers during baking. It is fluffy, with a buttery taste, and is found in a multitude of dishes, such as savoury pies and tarts, as well as millefeuilles, croissants, palmiers, etc.

Filo pastry for pastries or savoury pies

In Greece, there are as many recipes for homemade pastry sheets as there are traditional cooks! Some of them want it crispy and crunchy, others prefer it fluffier, others still with more or less oil.The fine Filo Pastry Sheet requires great skill and experience in the use of the rolling pin, because the sheets must be rolled out very thin, virtually translucent, in order to absorb the syrup in the baking tray.

tips

Remove the filo sheet from freezer and keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours before filling it.

For perfectly crunchy, well-baked pies, use a large baking tray. The larger the surface, the better the baking.

Before baking your pie, carve it so that the moisture of the filling does not get trapped.
