Moustalevria
Mustalevria () or must jelly (also mustpie and mustcake) is a traditional Greek kind of pudding made of grape must mixed with flour and boiled until thick. Moustokouloura, must biscuits or must cookies is the biscuit (cookies) version of it. Historical information and names
Moustalevria originated in ancient Greece where it was known under the name oinouta (). During the Byzantine era it was called mustopita () or pastellos (). Nowadays except from its standard name, moustalevria has alternative names that differ from place to place. E.g., it is also known as kefteria in Crete, kourkouta in Samos, palouzes in Cyprus and mustopita in other regions. Preparation

In order to produce mustalevria, grape must (the juice from pressed grapes before fermentation) is boiled in low fire. Then a small amount of argil is added in order to clean the must. After the boil, ingredients like flour, sugar, semolina, petimezi, sesame, vanilla, almonds, walnuts, etc. are included. Mustalevria is popular at grape harvest season when the must is fresh.
