Baklavas bite

Baklavas bites are always a part of our celebrations, adding sweetness to every special moment.

No gathering feels complete without these delicious, bite-sized treats. Among our favorites is the small but intensely sweet baklava bite from Ioannina, a top choice for its rich flavor and perfect balance.

But where did it originate, and where can we find the best one?

A bite full of sweetness and history!

The battle of the baklava! The epic debate about where baklava was “born” may never have been resolved, but we know who makes the tastiest one! In this battle, the baklava bite from Ioannina wins by far!

When visiting the enchanting city of Ioannina, two things will captivate you most: its rich history and its delectable sweets. As you stroll through the patisseries near the lake or around the bustling square, the irresistible aromas of vanilla and honey fill the air, drawing you in. It’s impossible to walk by without indulging in the sweet treat that has become an emblem of local gastronomy—the iconic baklava bite from Ioannina.

A delicious version of the classic baklava, made with Beirut-style phyllo dough, almonds, walnuts, and aromatic spices like cinnamon and cloves, the baklava bite from Ioannina is an all-time classic choice!

The pastry-making tradition in Ioannina

The people of Ioannina have a long-standing tradition in pastry-making, with baklava being an excellent example of their craft. From generation to generation, local pastry chefs create this delightful sweet with love and care, adhering to traditional recipes and using only the finest ingredients. Its preparation requires precision and skill, as the layers of dough must be thin and remain crispy, creating a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

And of course, Kolionasios is a master when it comes to baklava!

No matter how many baklava bites from Ioannina we’ve tried, there’s one that stands out for us. The authentic, traditional, ultimate baklava bite can only be tasted from Kolionasios. The fresh and pure ingredients, as well as the adherence to high standards of hygiene and quality, offer you the same indulgence every time you try it!

You can find the baklava bite from Ioannina in individual airtight packaging. Inside, the baklava bite is placed in a non-stick tray. It’s carefully packaged and sealed to preserve its freshness, flavor, and aromas. Every time you open a package of baklava bites, it travels you straight to the lake of Ioannina!

How easy is it to share?

Although you might be tempted to keep this delightful treat all to yourself (and we wouldn’t blame you!) Baklava has become a symbol of celebration and joy. We’ve come to associate those treats with happy moments, making them the perfect treat to share with friends during holidays and birthdays. With around 24 baklava bites per kilogram, they also make an ideal and convenient treat for the office!

The international day of baklava is November 17th!

Grab a coffee, and I’ll spill the beans!

Coffee and syrup desserts are an unbeatable combination! That’s why you should pair your sweet treat with a traditional Greek coffee, and you’ll thank us later! We recommend pairing it with Greek coffee flavored with vanilla for an aromatic experience, or if you want something different, try it with the unique Greek coffee with amaretto flavor. If you’re an espresso lover, no problem! The Espresso Sweet Amber will provide the perfect balance of sweetness and intensity. The best way to enjoy the baklava+coffee experience is by visiting Rizopoulos Coffee Store to get exactly what you’re looking for, but even if you’re far away, they can be yours with just a click!
