We're starting a business from scratch!

Ok, folks – We’ve getting ready to launch our Online Specialty Foods Retailer as a family business project. We’re launching this start up and have faith that it will succeed, draw our family even closer, and deliver the most satisfying line of imported specialty food and spice for less than you think. Our prices will keep supermarket accountants up at night!

Quality

We recognize that each time we go to the grocery store to purchase some spice, we get beat over the head for dried out flakes of paper. Items such as Dolmades (Stuffed Grape Leaves), premium Abruzzo Garlic Infused Olive Oil, and Kalamata Olives are not easily found in parts of the United States. We’ve done some homework and found our ingredients to be richer and less expensive that most brands and store brought generics. Our products come direct from markets in Italy and Greece. Our relationships allow us to bring these palate pleasing spice and foods at near wholesale prices.

Cool Things on the Way

In the coming weeks, we’ll be setting up Gift and Combination Packages that are made to order. We’ll also allow for custom ordering from our entire catalog of extraordinary gourmet foods.

Like any family who enjoys cooking food almost as much as eating it, we know it well. With our roots in Italy and Greece, we’ve accumulated a wealth of homemade recipes and cooking tips. In the next few weeks, you can visit our recipe section for some original ideas for your next meal. If you’re a novice, please bookmark us or subscribe and keep your eyes out for some easy cooking video tutorials, coming soon.

Aegean Tastes

With our family taste in whole food cooking with fresh, natural ingredients, we’re not easily fooled by the variety of oil, spices, sun dried tomatoes, and other things that attempt to simulate fine Greek & Italian flavors. The difference is in the taste! We were willing to go through extreme lengths to locate only the finest products to include in our catalog. This includes arguing with Grandma on where to find the thickest Kalamata Olive Oil.

Stay Tuned!

We’re not quite ready for orders just yet, but that will come real fast.

Until then, feel free to leave a comment!
