🌿 Palirria Authentic Hand-Rolled Stuffed Grape Leaves
Hand-Rolled • Rice, Dill & Mint • Recipe Unchanged Since 1957 • Ready to Serve • 10 oz
In 1957, Palirria began rolling grape leaves by hand using a family recipe that has never changed. Not because they couldn’t modernize — but because there was nothing to improve. The same tender vine leaves, the same fragrant rice filling scented with dill and mint, the same careful hand-rolling that ensures each piece holds together perfectly. Sixty-seven years later, the recipe is identical. The quality speaks for itself.
Dolmades — stuffed grape leaves — are one of the great dishes of the Mediterranean table. They appear at every Greek celebration, every mezze spread, every family gathering. Palirria’s version is the one Greeks reach for when they want the real thing without spending an afternoon in the kitchen.
What’s Inside
Each grape leaf is filled with a fragrant mixture of cooked rice, dill, mint, onion, and lemon — the classic Greek dolmades filling, balanced and aromatic. The vine leaves themselves are tender and slightly tangy, providing the perfect wrapper for the herbed rice inside.
Ingredients: Rice (cooked) 60%, water, vine leaves 10%, soya oil, onions, lemon juice from concentrate, dill 2.7%, mint 1.4%, black pepper, citric acid. May contain traces of sulfites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both work. Palirria dolmades are delicious at room temperature or chilled — the traditional Greek way. You can also warm them gently if preferred, but they’re fully cooked and ready to eat straight from the can.
-
Are they vegan?
Yes — the filling is rice, herbs, and lemon with no meat or dairy. They’re naturally vegan and suitable for plant-based diets.
-
What’s the difference between Palirria and homemade dolmades?
Palirria uses the same traditional recipe and hand-rolling technique as homemade — the difference is convenience. You get authentic Greek dolmades without the 2–3 hours of preparation.
-
