"Almyra"

Savory biscuit rolls & breadsticks

“Almyrà” [Greek for savory treats] come in various recipes and in many different shapes throughout Greece. Every region has its own little «secret» recipes to present.

ORIGIN

Inspiration for our roll shaped “almyrà” treats was the famous pies (“pita” in Greek) of Epirus, an area located between the mountain range of Pindos and the Ionian Sea in the northwestern part of Greece.

In the past, pita was the dominant element in the nutrition of the native nomad breeders, who had to survive on a little flour and what the surrounding nature provided them. Thus, they have become very imaginative with their pies and today there are endless alternative recipes. Feta, the famous Greek PDO white cheese, was usually an integrant part of their pies.
Staying loyal to this tradition, all our “almyrà” biscuits contain Feta, enriched with Greek only herbs, spices and vegetables.

The area that inspired us to make our artisanal baked breadsticks was  Crete. The island that has introduced its famous Cretan Diet to the world, has proven with its cuisine that flavor can come hand in hand with simplicity and pureness. The local bakery is famous for creating extra crunchy and full-bodied breadsticks, flavored with super food and nutritious ingredients such as herbs, seeds, nuts and vegetables.
