Pasteli (Honey–Sesame Bar)

The Serifian version of pasteli offers a crunchy texture of sesame bound with fragrant local honey in perfect harmony. Traditionally associated with weddings and joyful celebrations, this sweet treat symbolizes prosperity and abundance. The mixture of honey and sesame, infused with cinnamon and lemon zest, is spread on marble, cut into diamond shapes, and served on fresh lemon leaves, which impart a refreshing citrus aroma.
