Kandylas Traditional Spoon Sweet Rose - 250g

About the product

Rose spoon sweet is a thick preserve made from rose petals cooked slowly in syrup until the petals turn soft and translucent and the syrup thickens around them. This jar lists roses at 55% of the recipe, with glucose syrup and sugar forming the base and citric and malic acid balancing the sweetness. The result is lightly floral and sweet, used by the spoonful rather than spread thinly, and it pairs well with plain dairy or neutral bakes that can carry its scent.

About the company

Kandylas SA has been producing traditional Greek preserves for close to a century, with roots going back to 1927 and Ioanni Kandyla, whose family came from Smyrna in Asia Minor. The company is now run by Stylianos Kandylas, a descendant of the founder, and has grown into a brand distributed internationally. Its spoon sweets are made following recipes from Veroia, a town in northern Greece known for fruit growing and preserve making. The range draws on fruit and nuts sourced from Greek islands, which gives the catalogue a wide spread of flavours beyond this rose variety.

Instructions

Serve a spoonful on its own alongside Greek coffee and a glass of cold water, in the style it is traditionally offered in Greece and Cyprus. It also works well paired with cheese, including soft cheeses or foie gras, or stirred into or spread over desserts such as cheesecake. For a simple everyday use, spread it on bread and serve with coffee or tea.
