Chilopites
(Hilopites, Hylopites, Χυλοπίτες)
Chilopites is a traditional pasta variety hailing from Crete. It's usually handmade by women at the end of summer. The pasta is typically made with flour, water or milk, olive oil, eggs, and a bit of salt. The dough is cut in narrow stripes or small rectangles, depending on the area.
Also known as hylopites or hilopites, the pasta is dried under the summer sun before it's stored in white sachets by the housewives in order to be used in the winter. It's recommended to serve chilopites with grated myzithra cheese and tomato sauce.
