Gliko of Përmet — Green Walnut

The famous one: whole green walnuts, slow-cooked to translucence in the town that made gliko a craft.

Gliko is Përmet’s spoon sweet — fruit cooked slowly in syrup until it turns to stained glass, served on a small plate with cold water and coffee to welcome a guest. Green walnut is the benchmark of a maker’s patience.

Plainly stated

• Whole green walnuts, early-summer picking
• Small-batch, copper-pot cooking
• No colourants, no pectin shortcuts
• Serve one piece, cold water beside it
