Description
Our Premium Greek Essentials collection is perfect as a housewarming gift for your favorite Greek food lover, or use it to restock your pantry with some new and exciting flavors. This assortment includes: Eleones Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The Eleones Early Harvest is handpicked from olive trees of the Hondrolia variety of Mt Athos, Halkidiki, Greece. (375 ml bottle) Authentic Barrel-Aged Feta: Our Barrel-Aged Feta is produced from December through April from a blend of all-natural milk from free-range sheep and goats, whose milk is richer than cow's milk in calcium, vitamin B and proteins. By the end of the four-month maturation, a wonderfully creamy, rich, complex flavor is fully developed. The care that goes into this feta is evident by its incredible characteristics. Its traditional method of production contributes to its full taste, natural aroma and pure white color, properties which have established Feta over the centuries as a unique natural cheese of Greece. (15 oz) Kalamata Olive Spread: Kalamata olives are an important part of Greek cuisine and Greek culture. The olive is also found throughout Greek mythology. Legend has it that Athena, goddess of wisdom, gave the olive tree to the people. This not only gave nourishment, but oil for fuel and wood for building. This meaty and tangy variety of olives has been made into a spread that is similar to Italian vegetable pates. The tangy flavor of olives and a fresh loaf of foccacia bread have been natural partners for centuries. (7 oz) Stuffed Greek Olives: To the ancient Greeks, the olive tree was nothing short of a gift from the gods. Today, the olive is still considered one of nature's most perfect creations with a timeless appeal. The large Halkidiki olive, from the peninsula of the same name, is a luscious, smooth, buttery olive ideal for stuffing. These are hand-picked, patiently cured for months, and hand-stuffed with classic ingredients you can actually taste. (7.8 oz) Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value.
