Secret Recipe
The story of our pasteli goes far back to the first ascetic monks who combined honey and sesame seeds to make "sisamis", a nutritious and delicious sweet that occupied an important position in their daily diet. A diet that protected them and granted them longevity.
This simple recipe of the first monks, enriched with valuable taste secrets, was entrusted to the people of Patrikon by the Fathers of the Holy Monastery of Makariotissa, with love and respect to tradition. Inspired by their love for the earth and their fellow men and women, the monastery's monks create the purest delicacy that nature has to offer.
And so we created the finest handmade Melichio pasteli bars with the purest honey from Mount Helicon, mixed with nutritious and wholesome sesame seeds.
We have added ingredients to this basic recipe that make our pasteli bars unique. Cinnamon, the spice with the magical properties, antioxidant Aegina pistachios and black sesame seeds, rich in calcium, minerals and vitamins.
