SARADIS Bitter Orange in Syrup 453g

If you have family or friends in Greece, “spoon sweets” – delectable fruits, nuts or rose petals preserved in sugar syrup – will need no introduction! A mainstay of Greek, Turkish, Balkan and Russian culture for centuries, spoon sweets are traditionally offered to visitors as a gesture of welcome and hospitality: served in a generous teaspoon with a glass of water, and sometimes coffee. Or, they are presented as an elegant spoonful in center of small dish of Greek yogurt. Saradis has been making spoon sweets on the beautiful Greek Island of Chios since 1928. Rose and rosewater are classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors and culinary ingredients. Our Rose Petal Sweets feature pink rose petals in a thick naturally rose-infused syrup. For rose perfection on a teaspoon, enjoy our Rose Sweets the traditional way: savored between sips of cold water. Delicately aromatic and slightly floral in flavor, Saradis Rose Petal Sweets are best enjoyed chilled and delicious on buttered toast. Use our Rose Petal Sweets as a topping on rice pudding – or over vanilla or Mastiha ice cream – for a culinary match made in heaven! Or use them as a topping or filling for delectable rose-infused crêpes or pancakes.

Ülker Hanımeller Salted Cookie offers you a pleasant taste. The secret of the honeysuckle biscuits lies in the fact that every time you taste it, it is like your mother's cakes that you longingly remember. The biscuits, kneaded with the care of the mother and cooked with the care of the mother, are both fresh and delicious. The crispy biscuits, which calm your hunger and are always with you with their crunchy consistency and taste, are flavored with salty varieties. With its melt-in-the-mouth form and taste, you can consume this salty flavor, which is always with you whenever you need it, on the road, at school, at home, in the office, whenever and wherever we want, and you can color your tea hours.

It doesn’t get more authentic than this! If you grew up in Greece, Mastiha, the tear-shaped resin drops of the Mastic Tree, will remind you of home. Mastiha has been a classic culinary ingredient since ancient Greece used to flavor baked goods, ice cream and the traditional Greek liqueur with the same name. The Greek island of Chios has been dedicated to the cultivation and production of Mastiha (mastic gum) since the Byzantine era, with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) accorded by the European Union. Saradis has been making “spoon sweets” in Chios since 1928. Traditionally offered as a gesture of warmth and hospitality, the custom in virtually every Greek household is to serve a generous teaspoon of “spoon sweets,” with a glass of water or coffee, to visiting guests. Saradis Mastiha Sweets are made with sugar, mastic oil and water. With a thick and creamy fondant-like texture, our Mastiha Sweets have a unique anise flavor, with hints of vanilla and pine. Also known as a “submarine,” these sweets best enjoyed in the classic way: licked on a teaspoon, like a lollipop, between sips of water. Leave the spoon in your glass between sips, and the water will retain its wonderful mastic gum flavor!

Spoon sweets – citrus peels, whole fruits, nuts, vanilla or mastic gum in sugary syrup – have had a special place in Greek, Turkish, Balkan and Russian culture since the Ottoman Era. Offered to visitors as a sign of welcome and hospitality, spoon sweets are traditionally served in a teaspoon with a glass of water or coffee. Or presented as an elegant spoonful in center of small dish of Greek yogurt. Saradis has been making spoon sweets on the beautiful Greek Island of Chios since 1928. Our Orange Sweets feature large peels of ripe, hand-picked oranges suspended in delectable syrup. Chewy, juicy and not too sweet (despite the name!) our Orange Sweets are the “perfect bite” on a teaspoon. Rich in flavor and less dense than classic marmalades, they are delicious with scones, biscuits and cornbread. If you cut the orange peels into small pieces and serve with their syrup, the culinary applications of Saradis Orange Sweets will become more manifest! For a delightful citrusy spin on a brunch classic, serve them on French toast, pancakes or waffles with a dollop of Greek yogurt, mascarpone or whipped ricotta. For an elegant, citrus-forward baked brie, spread our Orange Sweets in the center of the cheese before baking. Use as a sauce for Crêpes Suzette sauce – or as a succulent orange glaze on roasted ham or duck – and your family and friends will thank you! You will find spoon sweets (Glyka tou Koutaliou, in Greek) in almost every household in Greece.
