About Portokalopita

Portokalopita, a traditional Greek dessert, is a moist and flavorful orange cake made from shredded phyllo dough, oranges, Greek yogurt, eggs, and olive oil, all soaked in a fragrant orange syrup. Its origins lie in the rich culinary traditions of Greece, where citrus fruits are celebrated. The dish combines tangy orange flavor with the irresistible texture of layered phyllo, creating a sweet treat that's perfect for special occasions. While Portokalopita is indulgent and rich in sugar due to the syrup, it does offer some nutritional benefits. The inclusion of Greek yogurt provides protein and probiotics, while olive oil adds heart-healthy fats. Oranges contribute vitamin C and antioxidants, offering a small boost to your immune system. However, the syrup and phyllo dough make this dessert calorie-dense, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
