Chios Mandarin Tou Koutaliou (Spoon Sweet) Limited Edition

"Petits Grecs"... Little & Finest Greek Treats!

"Tou Κoutaliou" stands for "spoon sweets" in Greece. This traditional sweet preserve is among the most widespread treats. It can be enjoyed as an accompaniment to yoghurt, cheese, ice cream, tarts or even as a spread. In Greece, we normally offer them "straight" in a small & delicate glass plate with a teaspoon next to the coffee or tea.

The unique and rare mandarin variety that grows only on Chios Island at Kampos, differs from the clementine variety, in shape but most importantly it differs due to its  intense aroma and strong flavour.

In the past, people from Chios wrapped those mandarins on paper printed with the producer’s logo one by one, before they were exported , as they were considered a precious and unique gift to offer to someone. 

This delectable fruit was recently recognised by the European Commission and granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) under the trademark Mandarini Chiou.

Our "tou koutaliou" Chios Mandarin belongs to Petits Grecs Limited Edition collection.
