Modern market and dining concept highlighting the influence of Greek products on Mediterranean cuisine. Mediterranean cuisine is rooted in an archipelago of magical vistas but rocky soil; where folks that could grow little more than herbs and olives were compelled to build ships to trade what little their soil brought forth. The resulting market for herbs and olives used in food, medicine, ritual and cosmetics— created a network of Greek trading nodes that stretched across the Mediterranean and beyond. The spirit of this history lives on in the prominence of herbs and olives in tapas, cicchetti, meze and other small plate cultures of contemporary Mediterranean nations. We work with our partners to bring you artisanal products true to the gastronomic traditions of these salt- and sun-kissed lands; in a culinary testament to those traders, philosophers, cooks, scientists, artists, bakers, bankers and rogues; who set sail from enchanted shores, with little more than herbs and olives.
