About the dish

Hamalia are a traditional sweet treat from the island of Skopelos in Greece. They are almond-based pastries, similar to marzipan, and are often made to celebrate special occasions such as weddings or festivals. The main ingredients of hamalia include crushed almonds, sugar, and rosewater, which gives them a delicate flavor and aroma. The mixture is formed into small, crescent-shaped or oval pieces and sometimes dusted with powdered sugar before serving.
