Brittle or “pasteli”: The snack Homer ate🏛️
Brittle is an ancient Greek sweet with deep roots in Greece’s history and culture. It was used not only as a nourishing meal for warriors but also as a symbol of fertility and love. Its name comes from the ancient verb “pas” (paso), meaning “to spread,” which is related to the techniques involved in its preparation. The first reference to brittle is found in the Homeric era, where “idrian,” a sweet made from honey and sesame, was mentioned as providing energy to warriors during the Trojan War. After Homeric times, Spartan soldiers consumed it before battles. During the golden age of Athens, around the 6th century BC, brittle gained a different symbolism associated with joy and celebration. The historian Herodotus, in the 5th century BC, described a honey and sesame sweet consumed at feasts and dances, which later became a ritual element in weddings. At weddings, brittle was offered to the bride and groom, symbolizing love and fertility. The tradition of eating brittle during weddings continues today, especially on the Aegean islands.📜
Honey and sesame: A sweet alliance!🍯
Brittle is made using a simple yet distinctive process. The key is the quality of honey and sesame. First, sesame, the main ingredient, is lightly toasted until it turns golden and develops a rich aroma. Then, the sesame is mixed with honey in a saucepan, where the mixture is cooked over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency. During boiling, the honey caramelizes and binds with the sesame, creating a dense, sticky mass. When the mixture has the right texture, it is removed from the heat and poured into a lightly greased pan or mold. It is left to cool and harden, and then cut into pieces. The result is a crunchy sweet that can be stored for a long time.🌱
Honey nut brittle “Melato”: Sweet and delicious!
Classic melato brittle is a traditional Greek sweet that combines the rich aroma and sweetness of honey with a softer texture of sesame compared to the crunchy brittle. It is made by carefully boiling sesame and honey until the ideal consistency and soft texture are achieved. The result is a fluffy, compact bar that hides the sweet, aromatic flavor of sesame and honey. Melato brittle is particularly nutritious, providing a source of natural sugars. It is ideal as an energy-boosting snack or a sweet dessert, offering an authentic taste of Greek tradition. Its sweet yet balanced flavor, combined with its soft texture, makes it an enjoyable and nutritious treat to savor at any time.
An excellent dessert that you can enjoy!💚
