Loukoum Koulou
Since 1947, in the town of Patras, LoukoumKoulou has been perpetuating the art of "loukoumi", the soft, fluffy square appreciated throughout Greece.
A confectionery born in post-war Greece
Loukoum Koulou appeared at a time when sweet confectionery symbolized a return to simple pleasures. The 1947 family-run workshop focused on loukoumi, a sweet inherited from oriental trade and deeply rooted in Greek culture. The brand has built its reputation on the consistency of its recipes and the quality of its raw materials.
Loukoumi as the core business
Loukoumi is central to the company’s identity. Its traditional flavors – rose, almond, masticha and citrus – are developed to maintain a soft, stable texture. The mastery of sugar, starch and gelling time is at the heart of the know-how that sets LoukoumKoulou apart.
Technical expertise adapted to modern needs
The company is developing a production unit capable of handling large volumes. Processes remain close to tradition, but the industrial organization ensures the regularity essential for sales to retailers and for export. This capacity makes the brand a solid player in a highly competitive market.
A varied range that goes beyond the classic loukoumi
In addition to traditional squares, Loukoum Koulou offers assortments, “boukies” formats and drier variants such as “xeroloukoumo”. These products broaden the use of loukoumi: daily tasting, gourmet gifts or export for Greek communities living abroad.
A brand with an international outlook
Loukoum Koulou ships its products to Europe, America, Australia and the Middle East. This movement confirms the recognition of a product associated with Greek identity. Thanks to its long shelf life, Loukoumi is particularly popular with gourmet and tourist markets.
Tradition, sugar and consistency: the pillars of the house
The company relies on simple ingredients, consistency and a faithful approach to original recipes. This consistency has enabled it to survive the decades without losing its authenticity or its audience. Loukoum Koulou remains a benchmark for lovers of traditional sweets.
