Description

Healthy cooking made easy! Immerse yourself in the heart-healthy wonders of the Mediterranean pantry with this selection of premium ingredients, designed to bring the vibrant flavors of the region right to your kitchen.  The kit includes all the ingredients you need to embark on the journey towards delicious and wholesome living the Mediterranean way. A $118 value.

Included in the Kit:

Nocellara - Italian EVOO:
Our Italian extra virgin olive oil is produced from 100% Nocellara del Belice olive variety, cultivated in the ancient city of Agrigento, Sicily. This extra virgin olive oil is produced from hand-picked and cold extracted Nocellara olives, which produce an exquisite medium intensity oil. The results are aromas of freshly-picked tomatoes and vegetables, with a mildly bitter and spicy finish. 

7 Spices and Flavor Makers:
Our spices are specially crafted for Mediterranean cooking. This set of 4 everyday spices includes Coriander, Ground Cardamom, Cumin, and Sweet Paprika, plus 3 exotic flavor-makers that will take your cooking to the next level: 
Sumac: A tangy spice that brings a lemon zest-like kick to brighten up salads, marinades, and soups.
Aleppo Pepper: This versatile pepper’s mild heat and fruity undertones make it the perfect seasoning for meats, vegetables,  and even for sprinkling on popcorn for movie night
Za'atar: This fragrant blend of thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac adds an aromatic depth of flavor to everything from roasted vegetables, to your morning eggs, homemade bread, and dips.

Tahini:
Crafted from the finest sesame seeds, our Tahini is a velvety-smooth paste that adds a nutty and savory dimension to your dishes. Whether you're creating traditional hummus, dressing salads, or marinating meats, this versatile ingredient brings a touch of the Middle East to your Mediterranean-inspired meals.

Red Split Lentils:

Red Split Lentils have been cherished for centuries for their nutritional prowess. Packed with protein and fiber, these legumes get meltingly tender and creamy after just 15 minutes on your stove, adding a burst of color and nutrition to your favorite soups and stews..

Extra Fine Bulgur:

A fast-cooking and fiber-rich grain made from hard red winter wheat berries. Tender and fluffy  with a nutty earthiness, bulgur makes for a nutritious and crowd-pleasing side dish to a wide variety of proteins, from pan-seared chicken to roasted salmon.

How to Use

  • Drizzle olive oil over salads, use as a dipping sauce, or use it to bake our healthy banana bread.
  • Sprinkle the spices on grilled meats, vegetables, or dips.
  • Incorporate tahini to make your own hummus, creamy vegan salad dressings, soups, or desserts for a velvety finish.
  • Fine bulgur can be used in almost any recipe that calls for couscous. It’s the grain used in tabouli.
  • Red lentils are easy to cook. We especially enjoy them in soups, adding aromatics and vegetables. They breakdown and become creamy like in our Turkish red lentil soup.

Please note during the cold winter months, our olive oils can sometimes freeze during transit and cause some of the natural waxes to separate from the oil, causing some cloudiness or floating particles. This is completely normal and does not impact the quality of the olive oil in any way. To thaw, simply leave the olive oil in room temperature. Do not in any way warm up the olive oil in a microwave or put it in direct sunlight. Olive oil is best stored in a cool dark room to preserve its life and quality.
