Galatopita means ‘milk pie’ and is a traditional, delicious sweet that comes in two versions: with filo (Ioannina prefecture) or without it (Messinia prefecture).
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.
