Opening your arms, filling your hug with care, and serving it to beloved ones in each and every delicious bite; that’s what MELIMA is all about.Every day we transform the purest Greek ingredients into excellent products, which are bringing a taste of Greece to the world. We produce in our workshop handmade and naturally air dried pasta with semolina and whole wheat flour grinded under low temperatures of the stone mill.We select durum wheat varieties cultivated in high altitudes & grinded under low temperatures between the round stones of the stone mill. We follow an old family recipe: we open a big hug to include the finest and most pure ingredients, which offer to our pasta a unique taste and color. Our pasta is hand shaped and produced in small quantities, without preservatives. It is dried at room temperature for 4 to 6 days, and not in a heat dryer, in order to preserve all the vitamins and flavor of the Greek countryside.
A few drops of the exceptional squid ink are able to cover with their taste and color even the last grain of durum semolina. Every drop feels like a trip to the flavors of the sea.
Fresh basil leaves and tomatoes from small farmers are filling the heart of our pasta with the taste of Greek summer and trigger your fantasy for endless tasty combinations.
Flavors and colors are shaping the heart of our pasta. The Greek Saffron offers its golden color to the pasta nests, next to the deep green of the fresh spinach and the vivid red of the tomatoes.
Greek Saffron and drops from the rare squid ink are wonderfully combined in the pasta nests and create new gastronomic trails through the landscapes of Greece.
From the Greek vegetable garden, directly into the heart of our pasta. We select, carefully, fresh vegetables from small Greek farmers, which are then treated with natural processes right before they are mixed with the semolina and the whole-wheat flour of the stone mill.
