Comments about Evangelia's Traditional Greek Cookies:

I'd never had olive oil cookies before, but knew I would like them. One of the negative reviews felt these tasted bland, like stale graham crackers. I, however love cookies that are not very sweet, such as koulourakia. Very delicate olive oil flavor and highly addictive!

Comments about Evangelia's Traditional Greek Cookies:

These remind me of a cookie my father used to make. He used to serve them along with a sweet white wine before dinner when we had our extended family over. This box is a perfect summery treat that I keep on the side to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Tastes like a graham cracker
By Taste testerVerified Reviewer from Little Rock, Arkansas on 4/27/2007
Pros:
Boring
Cons:
Blah
Best Uses:
Would not buy again
Describe Yourself:
Foodie
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Evangelia's Traditional Greek Cookies:

Usually when you claim you have the old family recipe, it is something special. This was not. It tasted like a dull graham cracker. Friends and family shared the experience with me in an in home taste testing. It was embarassing.
I would not buy this product again.
