Greece

Exploring Greek Food

With sunny skies and rich soil, Greece produces some of the best olives and extra virgin olive oil in the world. Being a coastal country that consists of more than 200 beautiful islands, Greece is also known for its fish-based diet, popularly called the Mediterranean diet, which experts say is one of the healthiest in the world. However, the Greek people also love their meat, particularly lamb, which can be found in gyros, kebabs, and souvlaki. Moussaka, a beef and eggplant casserole with potatoes and bechamel sauce, is also a common Greek dish. 

What kinds of Greek dishes can I make?

Incorporate Greece into your charcuterie boards by featuring imported feta cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and salty olive snacks. For the main course, a traditional spread might include grilled octopus, halloumi cheese, pita bread, and hummus. Serve alongside a Greek salad with kalamata olives, tomato, and onion, and you will have a family-style meal that everyone can enjoy together. And don't forget the yogurt! Many Greek dips and sauces make use of this ingredient, including tzatziki.
