One of the most-known Greek dishes worldwide is moussakás.
One day we wondered what would happen if we took this elaborate delicacy and re-imagined it as a crispy filo pie. Now you get to experience the result!
Introducing the Melianthos pita moussakas, a scrumptious pie that will leave you longing for more.
"All the different ingredients melt in your mouth (even the aubergine) and generate multiple tastes that blend really well together and amplify each other in a complex way but with a delicate sensation throughout." - Yannis
Layers of smoked and air-fried aubergines are mixed with a slow-cooked lamb and beef ragú, in a rich Mornay sauce made with pecorino and smoked Metsovone cheese.
The pie is made the traditional way, with layered handmade filo pastry sheets, all around a delicious filling. The filo is made with a flour blend that contains wholemeal organic flours and is fermented for at least 16 hours with our trusty sourdough starter, which makes it tastier and more digestible.
When frozen, our pies are delivered packed in a pouch insulated with natural sheep's wool. Ice packs ensure chilled transportation until delivery the next day (Tuesday to Friday).
We are using Woolcool's environmentally friendly food pouches, which not only ensure great transportation of our chilled products to you but also don't harm our planet, as they can be recycled or reused (apart from the cling film enveloping the pie).
Chilled delivery incurs a £5 surcharge per 2 pies due to the special packaging.
