Maggiri Hylopites with Milk Thistle, 200g

Be the first to review this product
Cretan flat ribbon noodles made with durum wheat semolina, 10% milk thistle and water. Naturally vegan, with 8.8g fibre per 100g and a 3–5 minute cooking time.
Manufacturer: Maggiri
SKU: EL2090

Hylopites are the rustic flat ribbon noodles of the Greek countryside, cut by hand and dried in island air for generations. This Signature Collection version honors that tradition while enriching the dough with 10% wild milk thistle — a foraged herb that has been part of the Cretan diet for centuries and brings a subtle, earthy character to every bite.

Made with just three ingredients — durum wheat semolina, milk thistle, and water — these noodles offer a gentle herbaceous note, a warm speckled hue, and an impressive 8.8g of fibre per 100g. Their flat ribbon shape is perfect for the classic Greek preparation with olive oil and grated cheese, in brothy chicken dishes, or simply tossed with lemon and fresh herbs.

What Makes This Special

  • Traditional Cretan hylopites enriched with 10% real milk thistle, a wild herb of the island
  • High in fibre: 8.8g per 100g — among the highest in the collection
  • Made with only three ingredients: durum wheat semolina (90%), milk thistle (10%), and water
  • Naturally vegan with no artificial colors or additives; the speckled hue comes from the herb itself
  • Quick-cooking flat ribbons ready in just 3–5 minutes
  • Ideal for butter or olive oil preparations, brothy dishes, or simple dressings with lemon and herbs
  • Produced in Heraklion, Crete, in an ISO 22000:2018 certified facility and bearing the 'Crete – Land of Values' quality mark

Origin & Production

These hylopites are produced by Maggiri in Kampos Agios Syllas, Heraklion, Crete. The facility operates under ISO 22000:2018 food safety standards, and every batch is crafted to honor the island's pasta-making heritage. The milk thistle used in the recipe is a wild plant native to Crete, foraged and eaten by locals for centuries as part of the island's celebrated traditional diet.

The flat ribbon shape and rustic texture are designed to hold sauces and dressings beautifully. The natural speckled appearance comes entirely from the milk thistle — no dyes, no additives, just real food.

Ingredients: Semolina from durum wheat (90%), milk thistle (10%), water. Contains gluten. Produced on the same production line as products containing milk and eggs.
