GLIKO ALMEG

Since 1992, this confectionery workshop affiliated with the slow food movement has been preparing Përmet's great specialty: gliko. These are candied fruits or vegetables also found in Greece and Cyprus under the name glyko tou koutaliou ("dessert with a spoon"). Almost everything here is candied: plums, cherries, figs, watermelons, grapes, strawberries, apricots, figs, eggplants, tomatoes, rose petals and more. And don't forget to try the gliko arre, made from whole walnuts (with the shell) that are still green. Caloric but delicious!
