Graclianos of Naoussa

Graclianos, the typical sweet of Naoussa, is a kind of baklava with homemade wrapped leaf, sesame oil and plenty of walnuts syruped with must honey.

A lot sweets of Naoussa are closely related to the juice of xinomavro, the variety of the region from which the famous red wines PDO Naoussa are produced. The "honey" is made from the must of black and white and is the basis for many sweet delicacies, must pies, soutzoukia and more.

We watched the preparation of gracliano in the laboratory of the Tzepos patisserie, which has not stopped producing it for years.
