Soutzoukos is a traditional sweet made from a thick creamy mixture known as “moustalevria”. The mix is made from the boiled juice of grapes and a little flour, flavoured with rosewater,cinnamon and mastic. Almonds are threaded onto a special string that is consecutively dipped into the moustalevria and dried in the sun until the layers build up to produce a long roll approximately one inch in diameter. It is then dried in the sun for several days after which it can be kept for months.
