HISTORY OF GOLDEN FISH ”BEHIND THE PRODUCT
The tradition of Greece wants the sweets of the spoon to win with their sword their eternal place next to the Greek blend, the hot freshly roasted coffee. The grandmothers even said that the right Greek coffee is drunk plain. So, they served a small saucer with sweets from their hands, to drive the bitterness out of their mouths. The serving ritual is perhaps the most characteristic manifestation of Greek culture as it requires:
- the proper preparation of the blend. Let's not forget the political secret that wants the kettle to have to go up and down 3 times on the eye, as soon as the first blisters appear!
- the correct choice of tableware between porcelain plates and fcups that were kept from generation to generation in the Smyrnaean "cocoons"
- and of course the right choice of dessert spoon or Turkish delight that would accompany the coffee.
Depending on the season, there was a corresponding need not to spoil the fruit and keep it in the syrup. Thus, it kept both its taste and its nutrients. So the variety of spoon sweets is inexhaustible, depending on the area and its fruits! It is this variety that has been expanding over the years. It also included flower petals such as the incomparably sweet rose. It even included nuts (for many there is no better taste than the sweet walnut).
Apart from accompanying coffee, the spoon dessert is also a representative indication of Greek hospitality. Along with a glass of cold water, the dessert was offered to both visitors and passers-by as a gesture of love.
