Dried Apricot Truffles With Mastiha Liqueur

Maurice Ravel, “Chanson d’amour des cueilleuses des lentisques de Chios/Love song of the lentisk gatherers in Chios” from the art song cycle “Cinq mélodies populaires grecques/Five Greek Folk Songs".

Maurice Ravel (1875–1937) was a master of color, precision, and subtle sensuality. His "Cinq mélodies populaires grecques" (1904–1906) reimagine traditional Greek songs with refined harmonies and delicate restraint. “Chanson d’amour des cueilleuses de lentisques de Chios” evokes the scented landscape of the island, celebrating love and longing through simplicity, modal melody, and an intimate, perfume-like musical atmosphere.

Delicious little bites of pure sweetness. Dried apricot truffles, delicately blended with almond flour and a subtle hint of mastic liqueur, then finished with a light veil of glazed sugar. Naturally indulgent yet refined, and suitable for fasting — proof that simplicity can be truly luxurious. Resting atop an alabaster vase, they blur the line between edible pleasure and still life, where texture, light, and restraint come together. A moment of quiet indulgence, inviting slowness, balance, and mindful enjoyment.
