The most well-known pastry from Thessaloniki (the second largest city in Greece). This Greek sweet pastry has earned 7th place on the list of the best pastries in the World! Trigona gets its name from the Greek word Trigono, which means triangle, due to its triangular shape. Trigona are flaky and crisp Greek phyllo cones, filled with pastry cream. The crunchy, soaked syrup phyllo dough is the first sensation when biting into a trigona, followed by a generous amount of cream in your mouth.
