Baked Goods

Greek Bread

From bread to baklava. Greek cuisine has a tradition in baked goods that stretches back millenia and incorporates influences from East and West alike. The result has been an unimaginable diversity of Greek pastries and bakery sweet and savory.

 

Baklava

Most people know the famous baklava: nuts and spices sandwiched between crunchy layers of filo and drenched in aromatic syrup. There are many other filo-based sweets, as well as a prolusion of cookies: from kourabiedes, rich in butter and almonds, to macarons made from almond paste, to dry cookies made for drinking in wine or coffee

 

Dakos Salad

Visitors to Greece know the traditional Greek bread accompanies every meal, while rusk bread forms the basis of cretan dakos salad: rusk, tomatoes, olive oil, and feta cheese. And Greek snacks, ranging from breadsticks to puff pastries, are exported to the world.

Both large Greek brands and artisanal producers offer a variety of baked goods appealing to health conscious consumers. The excellent natural products of Greece – olive oil, honey, nuts and natural grains – lend themselves to current health trends.
