Sparoza - The Avaris Tea - Handcrafted Loose Leaf Greek Herbal Tea

For the aesthetic foodie, Philippos Hellenic Goods offers an exceptional organic olive oil that is beautiful in both its flavor and design.

We love this oil because of its beautifully-designed bottle and its pungent, intensely fruity flavor, which is great straight on salads & vegetables, as a final touch on bowls of steaming soup and pasta…and of course, as a delicious dip for fresh, crusty bread.

Need a recipe for your olive oil? Here is the recipe for the REAL Greek Salad! or a crunchy, juicy, flavorful Cretan Dákos. Mix it to your yogurt with Sparoza's 15 Greek Herbs and Seeds for a powerful dip, or add it to Quinoa Salad with Fire-Roasted Red Capia Peppers, Black Beans and Spices. Or dare to pour it over vanilla ice cream - the possibilities are really endless!

We love this on just about any dish, and even straight on a slice of good crusty bread topped with extra virgin olive oil. Put some in your cheese bread or savory muffins for an extra punch...a little goes a long way!

This blend is also the secret ingredient in our Basic Yogurt Sauce and gives an extra Greek flavor to our Greek Orzo Salad.

For the conscientious food lover, Tragano Greek Organics offers family-farmed, healthy, and authentically Mediterranean flavors.

We love sea fennel in our salads, over baked fish, atop our tomato soup or in ceviche. Sea fennel is perfect to give a bit of flair to your favorite vegan or paleo creations. Use it as a lighter alternative to capers, in omelettes, or mixed with yogurt and garlic for a twist to traditional tzatziki.

Add Sea Fennel to our recipe for REAL Greek Salad to give an island twist to this summer classic. Check out how Chef José Salazar created a Sea Fennel Ceviche just for us. There’s more: our friend, Panos, used it on his Oven-Baked Fish for Father's Day, and fan Anu is topping her lunch sandwiches with it! And finally, Mike's festive Mediterranean beet salad gives it a totally new twist.

We love these organic olives because they are packed with anti-oxidants and healthy fats and have a fantastic mild flavor without being too salty. Conveniently pitted, Tragano Greek Organics Kalamata Olives are perfect for salads, sandwiches, meat dishes, and pasta sauces. Toss them with vegetables before roasting to give your side dishes a special tang, or blend them for your own homemade tapenade or pesto.

Besides being an ideal snack or appetizer, these Kalamata olives are delicious in a Greek Style Clafoutis or on Sylvia's Veggie Flatbread. You can even use your olives in a crunchy, juicy, flavorful Cretan Dákos.
