Pasteli
Pasteli Cooking Experience
The first “energy bar” in history
The Αndriotic pasteli is full of aromas, accompanies coffee or tea, and fills the platters at Christmas celebrations. Yet over time, it has become a local sweet for all seasons and occasions.
Full of nutrients such as sesame, honey, walnut, and pine nuts have a deep history in time from the Olympian Gods to Homer and were consumed by the Greeks for health and strength, especially during wars.
Besides, it dominated as a sweet in weddings for the couple since sesame symbolizes fertility while honey symbolizes sweet life.
Today we find it in various variations all over Greece.
Andriotiko pasteli is made from high-quality natural ingredients, has a thick texture, and has plenty of honey.
Come and learn the secrets of the most ancient sweet in Greece.
Together we will learn the whole process and wrap as many pasteli as we can for the house.
We meet in Chora and we walk for a few minutes to a wonderful courtyard in the lush green village of Livadia, where Harikleia will introduce us to the world of Andriotic pasteli.
