Delight in a Fasting-Friendly, Fruity Confection Inspired by Greek Tradition
Fasting Petit-Four Raspberry Jam 400g is a uniquely crafted dessert that brings together the cherished heritage of Greek confectionery and the requirements of fasting diets. Made entirely without animal products, this petit-four is perfect for those observing religious fasts or seeking a lighter, plant-based treat. Each delicate, bite-sized piece is filled with tangy raspberry jam that bursts with natural flavor, offering an indulgent yet wholesome dessert experience.
A Tradition Reimagined for Modern Tastes
In Greek culinary history, confectionery has always held a special place at the table—whether for festive occasions, family gatherings, or as a simple everyday treat. Traditionally, petit-fours were prepared using rich ingredients, but when it comes to fasting versions (νηστίσιμα), the recipe is reimagined to exclude dairy, eggs, and other animal products. Fasting Petit-Four Raspberry Jam is a modern tribute to this tradition. It delivers the same delightful textures and flavours of classic Greek sweets, but with a formulation that meets the fasting requirements without compromising on taste.
The essence of this product lies in its natural ingredients. Only the finest fresh raspberries are transformed into a vibrant jam that is neither overly sweet nor artificially processed. This jam is then encased within a soft, melt-in-your-mouth pastry, meticulously crafted to retain the authentic flavour and texture of traditional Greek confectionery. The result is a dessert that is as nourishing as it is delicious, providing a subtle energy boost and a moment of pure indulgence.
