Ioakimidis Family - Ioakimidis - Kourabie With Whole Almonds - 470g - 470 g

About the product

Kourabiedes are shortbread-style Greek biscuits made with a high ratio of fat to flour, which gives them their crumbly, dense texture. This batch is prepared with whole almonds (12%), butter flavoring, and a dusting of powdered sugar, and includes a small amount of rose water in the dough for aroma. The result is a rich, sweet biscuit meant to be eaten in small quantities, typically alongside coffee. Packed at 470g per unit, suited for retail shelf display or portioning in a deli or bakery counter.

About the company

Kourabiedes belong to a category of Greek biscuits traditionally linked to festive periods, especially Christmas and New Year, though they are sold year-round in bakeries and grocery stores across Greece. Production generally follows a shortbread method: fat (butter, margarine, or a mix) is creamed with sugar, then combined with flour and nuts, almonds being the most common addition. The dough is shaped by hand or machine into small mounds or crescents, baked until set but pale, and coated heavily in powdered sugar while still warm so it adheres. Recipes vary by producer in terms of fat blend and nut content, which affects both shelf life and texture, from very short and crumbly to firmer and more compact.

Instructions

Store at room temperature, away from direct heat or moisture, and keep the packaging sealed once opened to prevent the powdered sugar coating from absorbing humidity. Serve as an accompaniment to coffee or tea, in the same way other dry biscuits are presented. For retail, these biscuits sit well on ambient shelving with other Greek sweets and rusks, and can be offered in gift packaging or by weight depending on the outlet.
