This award-winning traditional desert is handmade on the Greek island of Chios, with pieces of the highly aromatic Chian Mandarin floating in a simple syrup of sugar, water, and lemon juice - no preservatives or additives at all, just simple island sweetness.
“Spoon Sweets” are that quintessentially Greek accompaniment to coffee, as you’re welcomed to someone’s home with a spoonful on a small plate. The Tangerine Peel version is the epitome of Chios’ hospitality, served only to special visitors…but don’t just save it for visitors, share its tangy sweetness with all your family and friends!
