Vhala pastas are made with traditional methods and the purest Greek ingredients. Hylopites are hand-cut small square-shaped pieces of pasta. Made with semolina flour and milk, this delicate pasta is the basis for many classic Greek dishes. For a Greek “mac & cheese,” cook and drain the noodles, add Kefalotyri cheese to the mixture and combine with melted butter. Or use this tile-shaped pasta in a classic baked chicken and tomato dish called “Kotopoulo me Hylopites,” topped with tangy Feta. For a wonderful soup to cure whatever ails you, add the cooked pasta to hot chicken broth and mix in fresh dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Of course, you can enjoy Vhala Hylopites as you would any other pasta: served with olive oil, garlic, fresh basil and parmesan cheese, in a simple tomato sauce or topped with sautéed wild mushrooms.

Tarhana is a dried food ingredient, based on a fermented mixture of grain and yoghurt or fermented milk, found in the cuisines of Southeast Europe and the Middle East. Dry tarhana has a texture of coarse, uneven crumbs, and it is usually made into a thick soup with water, stock, or milk.
