Dry Vine Leaves

Vine leaves picked from the vines early in the season before the grapes are ready and ripe - in Cyprus this is early May. The fresh tender leaves are carefully inspected, rolled and packed into clean jars. The jars are sealed quickly and stored until the oxygen in the jars is consumed by the ‘breathing' leaves. By this time the leaves have attained a nice olive-green colour. The freshness of the leaves is captured without the additives like salt or brine. This makes them ideal for making the delicious Dolmades.
