Gourmet Spreads Trio - Mediterranean Artisan Collection

Florina green peppers ground with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and herbs by the Naoumidis family in Florina, northern Greece — the family that grows, roasts, and jars its own peppers on an 80-acre farm at 610 meters. Brighter and fresher than basil pesto, and entirely dairy-free. Full details: Naoumidis organic pesto green peppers . Hellenic Farms Kalamata Olive & Oregano Spread — 7.4 oz Kalamata olives ground with Greek oregano into an intense, briny tapenade by Hellenic Farms — a certified 100% woman-owned company founded in 2013 by Vivianna Karamanis. Spread on warm pita, melt into pasta, or serve with cheese. See the Kalamata olive and oregano spread . Hellenic Farms Roasted Aubergine & Red Pepper Spread — 7 oz Smoky roasted eggplant and red pepper in the melitzanosalata tradition — vegan, no preservatives. The dip that disappears first from the board. Details: roasted aubergine and red pepper spread . How to build a mezze from this box Warm pita or crusty bread, the three jars in small bowls, a drizzle of Greek extra virgin olive oil over the aubergine, olives on the side. In Greece, mezze is not an appetizer course — it is the meal, eaten slowly, meant to be shared. Frequently Asked Questions Who makes these spreads?
