Sesame Bar Pasteli Macedoniko Classic 100gr

Description Pasteli is a traditional and very tasty sweet based on honey or syrup. It is usually made with sesame seeds which are molded with the help of honey or syrup (or a combination of the two) and baked in the oven. In essence, these are hard bars with an oblong shape, although there is also a version with a lot of honey (called melato) which makes it softer. In some cases, it also contains nuts, e.g. almonds, peanuts, pistachios, etc., while there are also pasteli with only nuts (one or more) without sesame seeds. It is a very nutritious and tonic sweet and is considered one of the best and healthiest snacks as it contains many vitamins and other nutrients, due to its good ingredients. Pasteli is known in all regions of Greece and is considered a very old dessert as there are references to it in very old texts, even in Homer’s Iliad.
