Fillo Pastry - Frozen
375g (1 pack)
$8.98
Nothing compares to the light-as-air crispiness of traditional Fillo Pastry -
and for over 60 years, our family has perfected the art of creating paper-thin, deliciously flaky ready to bake Fillo.
Unlike puff pastry, which relies on fat content to ‘layer’ when it is cooked, Fillo Pastry is traditionally made without any shortening or fat – making it a healthy and delicious alternative. You can choose the type and amount of butter or oil and the quantity of Fillo sheets you use to achieve the layering effect, depending on your recipe.
Our family’s fresh, frozen, and thick-style Fillo Pastry is available in a range of sizes for restaurants, caterers and other food service requirements. Home cooks can find it at their local supermarket, and at delicatessens, greengrocers and gourmet food stores around Australia.
Find inspiration for your next sweet or savoury Fillo Pastry creation in our recipe library. Think beyond baklava and spinach pie – there’s potential for new fillings in every shape and size imaginable. Explore our useful cooking tips and handling tips when cooking with Fillo Pastry.
Australia
When Chris and Marina Antoniou began making Fillo Pastry in 1960, it was a true labour of love. Like a lot of immigrant families at the time, they dreamt of building a secure future for their young family. They had run a successful tailoring business in Glebe, in Sydney’s inner west – but they wanted to make the best life possible in their new home country.
So when an opportunity arose to supply Sydney’s two Greek cake shops with Fillo Pastry, Chris and Marina used the small space next door to their tailor shop to start making Fillo by hand. Chris had learned this intricate process soon after emigrating from Cyprus to Sydney in 1952, while working a second job in a cake shop to save money for a home. It was a laborious process, often taking 12 hours or more, but a quality product was always the first priority for Chris and Marina.
Word quickly spread. Consumers now sought Fillo Pastry for their home-cooked recipes, and a handful of Greek delis and cake shops began selling the first pre-packaged Fillo Pastry in Australia. And so this marked the beginning of the Antoniou brand in the retail market.
