Chorefti Pies

Staying true to the value of genuine homemade flavours, Chryssi Zymi created the Chorefti Pie.

Thanks to the unique, wavy texture of its “chorefti” (“dancing” in Greek) filo sheet, made with extra virgin olive oil, this pie has been much loved by Greek families from its very inception.

Its crispy, wavy ripples embrace a filling of choice ingredients of the traditional Greek diet.

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.

Feta Cheese

Definitely the most widely used type of cheese in Greece, as the word “cheese” is synonymous to “feta” in daily life. White, soft or semi-hard PDO cheese with a rich taste and high nutritional value, the word “feta” describes that kind of white cheese that comes from specific areas of Greece and is made with milk from specific breeds of sheep and goats. It is an essential ingredient of the Greek salad (Horiatiki) and one of the main ingredients of the cheese pie, the spinach-cheese pie as well as many other Greek delicacies.

Kefalotyri

Hard, salty yellow cheese made from sheep’s and/or goat’s milk in Greece and Cyprus. Due to its hardness and taste, Kefalotyri is consumed raw as a meze, as a pan-fried appetizer - the famous Greek saganaki – or added grated to dishes.

tips

For a shiny, golden-brown pie crust, brush Chorefti pie with whisked egg before baking.

To prevent all liquids from evaporating and drying out the pie filling, carve the pie with a knife, but be careful not to cut all the way through.

Adjust the baking temperature according to your oven.
