An indulgent, soft and syrupy semolina cake infused with the unique aromas of mastic and mahlep, topped with rich and velvety vanilla cream patisserie, sprinkled with the sweet aroma of cinnamon.

Best enjoyed 30' after taking out of the fridge for the aromas to revive. 

A truly amazing combination of flavours and cooking technics pairing oriental elements, Greek mastic and European pastry cream. 

Greek mastic or "tears" of Chios is a natural tree resin and a Designated Product of Origin (DPO) produced almost exclusively in the island of Chios in the so called mastic villages. It's characteristic taste has a refreshing aroma described as that of pine/cedar taste. Did you know that Chios mastic has been used as a traditional medicine over the last 2.500 years?! 

It's taste is something really to be experienced! It creates a unique aromatic depth when paired with mahlep, a fragrant spice derived from the ground seeds of St. Lucie cherry tree.
