Kapnista Tyropitakia Kourou (Cheese & Smoked Pepper Kouroú Pies)

This Great Taste Awards 2023 winner is only available in Manchester. Interested in UK-wide postal delivery?

Perfect for a picnic or a quick meal, the Melianthos kouroú pies are the ultimate finger food.

They are just the right size to finish in a few bites, but rich enough to leave you feeling full - and perhaps a little happy - after just one.

Made with excellent ingredients, the dough brings together white, spelt and rye flours, creamy yoghurt, free-range eggs, fragrant butter, extra virgin olive oil and organic cold-pressed sunflower oil.

The result is a crust that is tender yet crumbly and an absolute joy to bite into. In fact, they taste so good that you can’t have only one!

“Great, rustic and homely-looking pies with a golden glaze. The aromas are rich and enticing. The pastry is short and rich with its own well-balanced and intrinsic flavour. The smokiness of the peppers and metsovone pervades the filling, though the other flavours are well balanced and with enough creaminess from the cheese, cream and eggs to stop it feeling dry. A delicious and satisfying little pie.” - Great Taste Awards 2023

These tyropitákia are carefully filled and pleated, egg-washed for shininess, sprinkled with poppy seeds and baked until crispy at the base.

The filling contains homemade smoked peppers, feta cheese, Metsovone (an amazing PDO smoked cheese) and free-range eggs. A gift to your taste buds!
