A sweet journey filled with art and tradition ⛵

How did this craft begin on the island of Syros? The authentic technique was brought to the island by refugees from Chios and Psara after their islands were destroyed. The first batch was made in 1832 at the port of Ermoupolis, marking the beginning of a long and successful tradition in loukoumi production, with many confectioneries being established. The Syros loukoumi is one of the most popular and beloved sweets, rightfully earning its place in the National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Greece!

But what is the ingredient that makes it so special? 💦

What sets this loukoumi apart from others? Locals believe its unique taste is due to the water. Syros is an island with scarce brackish water sources. This unique water used by the confectioners imparts the distinctive flavor to Syros loukoumia! Naturally, the adherence to traditional preparation techniques also plays a significant role in the quality of the final product.

Unveiling the secrets of Syros loukoumi 😉

Syros delight, or loukoumi, is the island’s most celebrated sweet, renowned for its distinctive taste and exceptional quality. The fundamental ingredients—water, sugar, starch, and a variety of flavors—combine to give each piece its unique character. Every box of loukoumia encapsulates the rich history and passion of the artisans who craft it.

Creating this iconic treat demands dedication and skill. The mixture is carefully boiled in copper cauldrons set in built-in fireplaces with fire bricks, constantly stirred until it reaches perfection. It’s then poured into floured trays to cool, cut into pieces, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, and meticulously packed in cardboard boxes that preserve its freshness and texture. The secret to Syros loukoumi’s success lies in the precise balance of ingredients and the slow, attentive boiling process.

The flavors of Syros loukoumi range from traditional rose and mastic to contemporary variations with fruits and chocolate. Among the many, Livadaras loukoumia are distinguished for their unparalleled taste and variety, offering a delightful experience with every bite.
