Prepared in the traditional Messinian way, Navarino Icons Tomato Spoon Sweet is a true taste of Greek hospitality. Sweet tomatoes are handpicked in August from the sun-drenched fields of the Peloponnese and gently simmered in a simple syrup of water, sugar, and lemon juice for two to three days until perfectly set.
Free from artificial flavorings, colorings, and preservatives, this authentic local recipe captures the essence of summer in every spoonful. In Greece, “spoon sweets” are offered as a warm gesture of welcome — a tradition that celebrates patience, craftsmanship, and the joy of sharing.
Enjoy it with soft white cheeses, Greek yogurt, or ice cream, or serve it simply with a glass of cold water as the Greeks do.
