Tzevremedes

Tzevremedes: Cretan carnival treats – Filo pockets filled with anthotiro, enjoyed plain or syrupy, a sweet delight!

Tzevremedes are made of filo filled with anthotiro in variations that differ for each occasion.

They are a beloved sweet, especially in Crete, and served mainly during the pre-Lenten carnival. They are also called boureki with anthotiro or with mizithra cheese. A simple sweet that is fast and easy to make, plain or syrupy, with honey or sugar and cinnamon or with powdered sugar. Unforgettable once you’ve tasted them!
