About Melomakarona
Melomakarona are traditional Greek honey cookies, often enjoyed during the holiday season. Made with a blend of flour, olive oil, orange juice, and a mix of warm spices like cinnamon and cloves, these cookies are sweetened with a honey syrup and typically topped with crushed walnuts. The use of olive oil instead of butter makes them a heart-healthier choice compared to many other baked goods, as olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats. Walnuts provide omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, adding a nutritious boost. While melomakarona offer benefits from wholesome ingredients, they are still a sugary treat and should be enjoyed in moderation, as the honey syrup contributes to their high sugar content. A staple of Greek cuisine, their delightful flavor and satisfying texture make them a beloved festive dessert.
