Frozen Fillo Pastry Sheets Antoniou 375Gr
The Antoniou Frozen Fillo Pastry 375g
Filo or phyllo pastry is a paper-thin pastry that is common in Greek, Middle Eastern and Balkan cooking.Filo is often filled in some way, such as the classic dishes of baklava and börek.
Nothing compares to the light-as-air crispiness of traditional Fillo Pastry - and for 60 years, Antoniou has perfected the art of creating paper-thin, deliciously flaky ready to bake Fillo.
Unlike puff pastry, which relies on fat content to ‘layer’ when it is cooked, Fillo Pastry is traditionally made without any shortening or fat – making it a healthy and delicious alternative. Depending on your recipe, you can choose what type and amount of butter or oil is used – to achieve the layering effect by using a number of sheets.
Antoniou’s fresh, frozen, and thick-style Fillo Pastry is available in a range of pack sizes for restaurants, caterers and other food service requirements. Home cooks will find it at their local supermarket, and at delicatessens and greengrocers around Australia.
