Greece—Out of the Ashes
When we think of Greece, we have visions of breathtaking beaches and landscapes, awe-inspiring ruins, and, of course, food! If necessity is the mother of invention, Greece has given birth (once again!) to some of the most innovative and sumptuous foods that are sure to boost the country’s economy while tantalizing your taste buds! This week it’s all about what’s new in honey from the homeland.
All of the items listed below are produced in Greece, by Greek people, with Greek culture, using Greek ingredients. It doesn’t get much more Greek, or delicious, than that.

Sweet Dreams Are Made of These
776 DELUXE FOODS has elevated the bar when it comes to quality honey that is never heated or filtered so the full flavor remains. Their Honey & Hios Mastic is the most distinctively aromatic, made with raw honey harvested locally and a touch of mastiha oil extracted from the resin of the mastic tree that grows exclusively on the island of Hios, imparting earthy herbal-pine notes. Enjoy it by the spoonful or add it to lemonade or vinaigrette to wow your palate. Other foods from this brand worth noting are their authentic Greek pasta line, extra-virgin olive oil, and kalamata olives, all from the Olympia region in Greece. Available at igourmet.com. 776deluxe.com
ENTOPIA embraces tradition with ingredients and products that are simple, natural, and generous, like their fragrant Thyme Honey with Honeycomb that is gathered from the Peloponnese mountains. Also lovely is their Thyme & Fir Honey Bio, an organic nectar with the added scent of the forests of Greece.
Beyond honey, Entopia also offers aromatic herbs, extra-virgin olive oil, organic balsamic, glazes, marmalades, natural sauces, and spoon sweets. Greek gastronomy at its best! entopiagreece.com
KAYAK Greek Frozen Yogurt uses pure raw materials (like 100 percent real Greek strained yogurt) and is based on homemade recipes to create a product that is non-GMO, low fat, with no artificial colors or preservatives…Did I mention the killer taste? Greek yogurt and honey have been having a love affair for ages, so when your favorite new honey is ready to be paired up, drizzle it over frozen Greek yogurt for a swoon-worthy dessert. Eight exceptional flavors from Kayak will take your taste buds to new heights. My personal favorite? Mediterranean Orange and their exotic and engaging Mango & Jasmine. They also make ice cream, sorbet, and sweets! Kayak’s cafes are seriously popular in places like Mykonos and Glyfada, so it’s no surprise their chilled treats have made it to our shores. kayak.gr
Many Greek/Mediterranean markets carry these products. If yours doesn’t, ask them if they can order them for you. Feel free to contact the companies through their websites for shopping info in your area. Some items are available online on Amazon, and titanfoods.net and Mediterranean Foods carry all things Greek and ship nationwide (call them if you don’t see what you want on their websites). Oh, and Google works too!
