Greek Wellness & Gourmet Collection

Three Greek products covering the pillars of the Mediterranean table — the cooking oil, the finishing acidity, and the evening tea ritual. Each comes from a named producer we work with directly, and together they save $4 compared to buying the three individually.

What's in the collection

Sparta Gourmet Koroneiki EVOO — 3L Tin

Cold-pressed Koroneiki from the Georgiou family groves in Laconia, Peloponnese — September 2025 harvest, sub-0.3% acidity. This is the everyday workhorse: sautéing, roasting, dressings, finishing. The 3-liter tin is how Greek households actually buy their olive oil. Explore the full details on the Sparta Gourmet Koroneiki EVOO 3L tin page.

Botanico White — Organic Greek White Balsamic, 8.45oz

From Domaine Costa Lazaridi in Drama, northern Greece — made from concentrated Sémillon grape must and Sémillon wine vinegar at 6% acidity. Deliberately unaged to preserve its blond color: all the sweet-tangy balance of balsamic, without darkening a pale sauce, a fruit salad, or a piece of fish. See the Botanico White organic Greek white balsamic.

Othrys Greek Mountain Tea — Wild Sideritis, 50g

Sideritis scardica hand-harvested above 1,700 meters on Mount Othrys by a family in its third generation of wild harvesting, then shade-dried. Naturally caffeine-free — the tea Greeks drink in the evening, often with a spoonful of honey. Read more about Othrys wild-harvested Greek mountain tea.

Why these three together

When Ancel Keys studied why Cretans lived so long in the Seven Countries Study, the answers were on the table, not in a supplement bottle: olive oil as the primary fat, and herbs — including mountain tea — as daily ritual. This collection is that pattern in three products: cook with the EVOO, brighten with the white balsamic, and end the day with Sideritis.

Who it's for

A complete starting point for someone new to the Greek pantry, and a housewarming or holiday gift that reads as considered rather than generic — every item traces to a named producer and region.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Where do these products come from and who makes them?
  The EVOO is cold-pressed by the Georgiou family in Laconia, Peloponnese. The white balsamic is made by Domaine Costa Lazaridi in Drama, Macedonia. The mountain tea is wild-harvested by Othrys Farms on Mount Othrys, central Greece.
• Is the 3L tin too much olive oil?
  Not for a household that cooks. Greek families buy oil in tins for a reason — stored sealed, cool, and dark, it keeps beautifully, and 3 liters lasts a typical kitchen a few months.
• What is white balsamic and how is it different?
  Botanico White is made from concentrated Sémillon grape must and wine vinegar, intentionally unaged so it stays blond. Use it wherever dark balsamic would stain: seafood, pale sauces, fruit, and vinaigrettes.
• Does mountain tea contain caffeine?
  No — Sideritis is naturally caffeine-free, which is why it's traditionally drunk in the evening.
