Product Description
Melomakarona, kourabiedes and koulourakia: three Greek cookies in one set
Lift the lid and the kitchen smells of honey, orange and cinnamon: a whole kilo of melomakarona, the Christmas cookie of every Greek home, with two trays of kourabiedes and a box of braided koulourakia beside it. The melomakarona and the kourabiedes are shaped by hand in Athens by the Ipirotiko bakery.
The melomakarona are soft honey cookies with walnuts on top. The kourabiedes are crumbly and delicate under a thick layer of icing sugar, and they melt as you bite. The braided koulourakia, made in Athens following a traditional family recipe, are crisp outside and crumbly inside: the ones for breakfast, with a Greek coffee.
What's in the set
- Melomakarona, 1kg in two trays of 500g, by Ipirotiko
- Kourabiedes, two trays of 320g, by Ipirotiko
- Koulourakia, braided, one box of 500g
Everything in the set is made in Athens. The kilo of melomakarona is the largest part of it, and each of the five packs is closed on its own: you can open one tray for the coffee and leave the others for another day.
If you would like tsoureki and moustokouloura on the table as well, The Greek Family Christmas Set has them.
