{"product_id":"alibinisis-melomakarona-with-chocolate-compound-chocolate-400g","title":"Alibinisis Melomakarona with Chocolate Compound Coating - 400g","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelomakarona are spiced Greek biscuits made with wheat flour and sunflower oil, flavoured with cinnamon, clove and orange, and leavened with ammonium and sodium bicarbonate. After baking, the biscuits are soaked in a syrup made from sugar, water and a glucose-honey blend, then finished with a coating of imitation chocolate made from sugar, hydrogenated palm kernel oil and cocoa powder. The syrup soak gives the biscuit a moist, dense texture, while the chocolate coating adds a firm outer shell that contrasts with the soft crumb underneath. This 400g pack holds individually baked pieces ready for retail display or portioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the company\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelomakarona belong to the category of syrup-soaked Greek holiday biscuits, traditionally produced in the weeks around Christmas across Greek bakeries and small-scale confectioners. Production typically follows a fixed sequence: a spiced, oil-based dough is shaped and baked, then the warm biscuits are dipped in a honey-sugar syrup so they absorb moisture and sweetness without becoming soggy. Many producers finish a portion of their batch with a chocolate coating, a more recent variation on the plain syrup-soaked version, aimed at buyers who want a richer, dessert-style product. Recipes vary from one producer to the next in spice ratio, syrup concentration and the type of coating used, which is why pack sizes and shelf lives differ across suppliers even for what looks like the same biscuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore at ambient temperature, away from direct heat and moisture, and keep the pack sealed between uses to protect the chocolate coating. Serve at room temperature, whole or cut into halves for smaller portions on a dessert plate or pastry tray. Melomakarona pair well with Greek coffee or strong black tea, and they are commonly offered alongside other syrup-based sweets during the autumn and winter months. For retail display, keep the biscuits out of direct sunlight to prevent the chocolate coating from softening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alibinisis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59112906359165,"sku":"DB12053","price":6.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8997\/7223\/files\/alibinisis-melomakarona-with-chocolate-compound-chocolate-400g.jpg?v=1794667208","url":"https:\/\/bakalikostore.nl\/fr\/products\/alibinisis-melomakarona-with-chocolate-compound-chocolate-400g","provider":"Bakaliko","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
