Tulumba: The “queen” of syrupy sweets

In the heart of Thessaloniki, on 29 Karolou Dil Street, and with a workshop in Paleokastro, the Zannas family brings to today the authentic, handmade tulumba, as few know how to make it. And those who have tried it, speak of a taste experience that is difficult to forget.

The story begins in 2018, when the family decided to share with the public its own version of perhaps the most popular syrupy dessert of Greek tradition. The recipe comes from the hands of an old master in Neochorouda, who happily passed on his secrets, shortly before retiring from his craft.

With respect for the recipe and attention to detail, the tulumba “Zannas” quickly became a destination in itself, for those who love authentic syrupy desserts and especially this particular dessert, which melts in the mouth.

The classic, crispy and syrupy tulumba may remain the “queen” of the shop, but at “Zannas Sweets Like Old Times” you will also find more creative versions of it: filled with light patisserie cream or with chocolate, for those who want something more.

These options are ideal for the holidays, either to accompany a rich table, or as a gift for a festive invitation. And if you are in Thessaloniki, trying the tulumba with cream – they prepare it in front of you – is considered… mandatory!
