This batch from Alibinisis is flavoured with cinnamon, clove and orange aroma, finished with a splash of cognac in the dough, then dipped in a sugar and honey syrup and topped with crushed walnut kernels. The texture is soft and moist rather than crisp, since the biscuits absorb the syrup after baking. Each pack holds 400g, suited for retail shelves or dessert counters during the autumn and winter season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the company\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelomakarona belong to a category of Greek festive baking built around a simple method: a semolina or flour dough enriched with oil instead of butter, baked until firm, then soaked while still warm in a hot honey syrup so it absorbs the liquid evenly. Walnuts are the standard topping, added for texture and because they pair well with the honey and spice base. Production of these biscuits is seasonal in most Greek bakeries, picking up from late autumn through December, though packaged versions with preservatives allow year-round distribution outside Greece. The combination of raising agents (ammonium and sodium bicarbonate) and a defined syrup ratio is typical of commercial-scale batches aiming for consistent texture across production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at room temperature, whole or halved, on a dessert plate or alongside coffee. Store the unopened pack in a dry, ambient space away from direct heat; once opened, keep in a sealed container and consume within a few days for best texture. A short warm-up in a low oven (around 5 minutes at 150°C) can refresh the syrup and soften the biscuit if it has firmed up during storage. Dust lightly with extra cinnamon or chopped walnuts when plating for retail display or restaurant dessert menus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alibinisis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59112898003325,"sku":"DB12052","price":6.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8997\/7223\/files\/alibinisis-melomakarona-with-honey-walnuts-400g.jpg?v=1794666507","url":"https:\/\/bakalikostore.nl\/fr\/products\/alibinisis-melomakarona-with-honey-walnuts-400g","provider":"Bakaliko","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
