Greetings!
A quick update - we've worked out some quirks in supply, thus enabling us to gently open up shop. All but a handful of our core products are now available for purchase. One such item unavailable is the delicious basil infused extra virgin olive oil. This also means that certain gift basket combos are unavailable for the time being.
We expect to have more basil infused oil before the end of the coming week.
We're also working on expanding our catalog and introducing new Aegean Specialty products and adding a Baking Section to include extracts, flavorings, and confections.
Until then, feel free to dive into the Aegean Imports website. Tell us what you think - please give us some feedback by leaving a comment below or by clicking here.

What's Cooking at Aegean Imports?
Hello Friends!
Time for a new update on our progress towards launching Aegean Imports, Inc.
As many of you has seen, we've added an assortment of pictures to our sites. Just a reminder, the most current product and images are always on Aegean Imports Online Store.
We've had to make a few minor change with a handful of gift baskets. As it is, the new baskets for our gifts actually give us more room for food. They are also more sturdy and make nicer keepsakes after the infused olive oils have been enjoyed.
Before we get into the changes; a little about Aegean Gift Combos. Each are named after islands and other places in & around the Mediterranean Sea. Plenty of thought went into the products and recipes (in progress!) with emphasis placed on practical use of the food. This helps explain why some baskets share a bit of commonality - Mediterranean foods are more interchangeable than plastic building blocks.
The other oblong basket-type Aegean Combos affected were Syros, Milos, and Sifnos.
The next gift combos affected by the change are actually small wicker suitcases, with reinforced handles, and a leather buckle. The new case (bottom image) is about 20% bigger as you see with Aegean Combo Kythnos;
With Aegean Combo Milos, we're now able to fit eight great herbs & spices into this suitcase as an alternative; just in case you or someone you know is traveling and needs to cook up a Greek / Italian dish in the clutch. As such, we've included all eight of our opening spices & herb product line as part of the respective package.
We've also experimented with a few wrapping & decoration techniques using raffia, real rope twine, and cellophane wrap. The end product will look similar to the below after we've tweaked it some more.
Lastly, I want to introduce a new Gift Combo we're tentatively calling Aegean Combo Bari, after our great grandmother's hometown of Bari, Italy.
We certainly appreciate your patience as we make the last minute preparations needed for our grand opening. Please feel free to give us feedback by leaving a comment here or reaching out via twitter or facebook.

The Aegean Anafi Combo, and other gift combos that featured the oblong basket and mini-suitcase have received an upgrade. They still feature the same great product, just a change in the basket type to the large type. (bottom image)

This combo will feature our complete line of infused and plain extra virgin olive oils, balsamic vinegar. Also included are sundried tomatoes, red roasted peppers, and large Kalamata olives. Combo Bari weighs in at 18 lbs of premium oils and foods in a beautifully crafted sea-grass wooden boat.We're in the process of listing this out on our site and it will be available at launch.
Speaking of the launch - we're just about set to throw the switch on the store and should be accepting orders the week of October 19th - Next Week!
