The sweet has a rich semolina cream, eggs and sheep butter, and is baked in a pile of crispy crust pastry sheets topped with cinnamon and icing sugar.

The Messinian galatopita is a traditional dessert of the region and is usually made after the Holy Week, but also during the week after carnival day.
