"Biskota"

Greek artisanal biscuits

Some “biskota” [biscuits in Greek] are crunchy and crispy, some chewier or melt in the mouth; yet all of them are favorite snacks and treats all over the world.

You can find many recipes for biscuits throughout Greece. Yet, our aim was to present a series of everyday snacks, using mainly ingredients known for their high nutritional value such as oat, nuts, dried fruits and super foods.

Most of them are made with Greek olive oil and are vegan.

ORIGIN

Inspired by the world famous Cretan diet also known as Mediterranean diet, we have created a series of biscuits of unique character, all based in nourishing ingredients.

Most of our recipes are inspired by the island of Crete, which has a long tradition in bakery products with ingredients rich in nutritional value. The local cuisine is based on the consumption of cereals, vegetables, herbs, fruits, legumes, nuts, wine, honey and olive oil.

Our biskota with tahini, cashew, peanuts and almonds are all inspired from Crete. Our “biskota” with sesame have been created based on a brittle recipe from the Dodecanese island of Rhodes; the so called Melekouni, a sesame seed bar with honey and cinnamon.

Last but not least, the “biskota” with cranberries & pistachios are dedicated to a beloved recipe from the picturesque Argosaronic Island of Aegina, homeland of the world famous PDO Aegina shell pistachios.
