Melopita

The quintessential sweet of Sifnos during Easter. Its base is made from fresh local cheese - anthotyros or myzithra - beaten with eggs, honey, and sugar to create a light, velvety cream. During baking, it takes on a golden color while remaining moist and tender inside. The honey imparts natural sweetness and fragrance, balanced by the mild tang of the cheese. It is served in slices, sprinkled with a touch of cinnamon.
