Handmade Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms with Rice

A Cretan Gem: Handcrafted Golden Blossoms by the Dermitzaki Family

Few dishes capture the essence of Cretan culinary artistry like stuffed zucchini blossoms. In the sun-drenched gardens near Heraklion, these delicate, golden-yellow flowers are hand-picked by the Dermitzaki family (Agropoem) at dawn, while they are still open and fresh.

Following a cherished family tradition, each blossom is gently stuffed with a savory blend of rice, Mediterranean herbs, and premium Cretan olive oil.

    Authentic Craftsmanship: Every single blossom is hand-filled and carefully prepared to preserve its delicate shape.
    Origin: Directly from Heraklion, Crete – produced by a dedicated family business.
    Flavor Profile: A tender floral shell meets a rich, aromatic rice filling with a hint of mountain herbs.
    100% Natural: No artificial preservatives – just like a homemade meal from a Cretan village.

Serving Suggestion: Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. A dollop of Greek yogurt or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice enhances the delicate flavors beautifully. Pair with a chilled glass of Assyrtiko wine for the ultimate Mediterranean experience.
