Pelamushi and churchkhela are two legendary Georgian treats that carry the aroma of the sun and the richness of Caucasian flavors. Pelamushi is a velvety grape pudding made by boiling fresh grape juice with flour, creating a delicate texture with a slight tang and nutty note. Churchkhela, known as 'Georgian chocolate,' consists of walnuts generously coated in thickened grape juice that are then dried into a sweet treat with a rich flavor and chewy texture. These dishes are traditionally prepared during the grape harvest and are not only symbols of Georgian cuisine but also cultural heritage of the region. Served chilled, pelamushi is a dessert while churchkhela is a nutritious snack that pairs perfectly with Georgian wine and hospitality.

Pelamushi is a jelly made from grape juice. You can eat it as is, or you can make the well-known churchkhela from it.
