Greek Pistachio Spoon Sweet with Chios Mastic 450g

Greek pistachio spoon sweet is one of the most beloved *glyka tou koutaliou* — the traditional Greek spoon sweets offered to guests as a mark of hospitality, eaten one spoonful at a time from a small dish alongside a cold glass of water. This version goes a step further: in a single jar, the pistachio spoon sweet is paired with Chios mastic *ypovrychio*, creating a product with two distinct pleasures in one. Two Greek Sweet Traditions in One Jar The jar contains two complementary layers. The larger portion — 69% of the jar — is Chios mastic *ypovrychio*, the iconic Greek “submarine” sweet flavoured with pure mastiha oil from Chios. The *ypovrychio* takes its name from the tradition of submerging a spoonful into a glass of cold water or milk, where it slowly dissolves into a fragrant, sweet, milky-white drink. It is one of the most distinctive and nostalgic sweet traditions in Greece, particularly associated with Chios and the Aegean islands. The remaining 31% is pistachio spoon sweet: rich, glossy, syrupy, made with 45% pistachio. Sweet, slightly nutty, and deeply satisfying — this is *gluko tou koutaliou* at its most indulgent. Made in Chios Since 1935 Korakis-Marinos is a third-generation family confectionery from Chios, founded in 1935 by Panagiotis Korakis. The family has been making traditional Chios sweets — spoon sweets, jams, mastic submarine sweets, and nougat pies — for nearly 90 years, always using traditional Chios recipes and carefully selected raw materials. Their factory in Chalkeios, 8km from Chios town, produces more than 40 varieties of spoon sweet and is certified ISO 9001:2015 and HACCP. Products are exported to Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Australia, and beyond. How to Enjoy It Eat the pistachio spoon sweet directly from a small spoon, as is tradition in Greece — offered to guests alongside cold water. For the mastic *ypovrychio*, dissolve a spoonful into a glass of cold water or cold milk and stir until the sweet melts into a fragrant, opaque drink. Both can also be served over vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or used as a topping for desserts. **Ingredients:** Mastiha sweet (69%): Sugar (55%), Glucose Syrup (contains **sulfites**), Water, Flavouring: Chios mastiha oil (0.03‰).
