The beautiful island of Chios, offers generously one more nutritional treasure. The orange, a fruit of the citrus category which is one of the most characteristic of Greece and the Mediterranean.
It is proved to be one of those with the highest nutritional value fruit because it contains vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, selenium and dietary fiber, calcium, iron, iodine, roundtrips. The high comprehensiveness of vitamin C at orange also acts as an antioxidant which protects cells from damage by free radicals while stimulating the production of white blood cells in our body, thus improving the immune system against diseases and infections. Plant fibers contained in orange, help fight constipation and protect against ulcers.
We can enjoy Orange in many ways, either as a raw fruit, which gives us incredible flavor and aromas, or by drinking its unique juice, the same juice used in cooking to enhance the flavor in our gourmet dishes, while the zest of the peel is a key component in pastry.
Our proposal for orange, is based on old traditional recipes, where the passion and the love of ordinary people for the pure products of our country led them to the wonderful spoon sweets with orange peel. There, after washing and cleaning carefully the orange, we removed the peel, and boiled it in sugar syrup. This method allows us to encapsulate all the taste, the flavors and the nutritional value of the orange for a long time, under strict quality assurance protocols.
Serve our traditional orange peel sweet fruit, preserved in syrup, to your beloved and give them a pure taste of Greece.

A traditional and delightful Greek custom is the offering of spoon sweets to guests as a symbol of hospitality. They are called spoon sweets because the usual serving size is a well-filled teaspoon. The ancient Greeks savored combinations of nuts and fruits with sweeteners like honey and petimezi (grape molasses). However, in the latter years, when sugar was more readily available, that syrupy preserves of fruit, rinds, nuts, and sometimes vegetables became well known and part of the Greek culinary experience.
Our Black cherries are harvested by hands when firm (often slightly underripe) and made into spoon sweets. These sweets are made with simple, natural ingredients that transform them, using traditional handmade recipes, into something entirely new, exciting, and delicious.
Black cherries in spoon sweets retains its original color, taste, and aroma. Are low in calories and provide fiber, vitamin C, minerals and melatonin to your diet. A serving of sweet cherries has no cholesterol and negligible amounts of fat.
