Traditional pie recipes from all over Greece bring a mouthful of the Greek countryside right in your plate.
Many people believe that pies are the most Greek of all Greek dishes. And they are right. Traditional Greek pies convey a great know-how of the cuisine of each land, usually based on local products and lifestyle: seasonality and sustainability have been in the center of people’s lives long before they became a modern-era trend.
Pies (pites, in Greek, the plural of the word pita -pie) is, essentially, any type of solid ingredient (cheese, vegetables, meat, chicken), wrapped around, or enclosed in one or more layers of dough or puff, spread in a way that, after baking, the dough, which is then called “fyllo”, becomes dry and crispy, like a very dry tree leaf (fyllo means leaf in Greek).
These extremely tasty Greek delights have a long history in Greek cuisine, dating back in the ancient years: akratiston (breakfast), was a bread and wine pie, while “mytlotos” filled with oil, honey and garlic, along with melopites (honey pies) were the most common types of pie.
Today, Greek pies travel around the world to advocate the wisdom of Greek cuisine and the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, with an updated twist, through the best Greek companies in the frozen baked products field, who share with us their latest tasty creation.
