ONLINE SOURCES FOR GREEK FOODS

BY NO MEANS COMPLETE, HERE IS A LIST OF THE LARGEST AND MOST INTERESTING ONLINE SOURCES FOR GREEK FOOD PRODUCTS.

TITAN FOODS (www.titanfoods.net)—By far one of the largest, if not the largest, online retailers of Greek food products. Titan began as a brick-and-mortar Greek supermarket in Astoria, New York, and is still a bustling emporium where you can find just about everything Greek and edible. They also produce a range of Greek sweets and phyllo specialties in-house. The online shop has a vast range of Greek foods that cover both gourmet and more everyday products.

MANI IMPORTS (www.maniimports.com/shop)—This online retailer is based on the West Coast, in Sacramento, and has a good selection of Greek cheeses, wines, olives, olive oils, and other Greek products, as well as products from around the Mediterranean.

YOLENIS (www.yolenis.com/en-us/?country=US)—A new source for Greek foods online, Yolenis has a good range of Greek gourmet and other products. Availability of products can sometimes be an issue, but the range is interesting.

KLIO TEA (kliotea.com) is a great source for a wide range of Greek herbal teas and regional, artisan Greek honeys, including the famed “longevity” honey of Ikaria, a Blue Zone.

DEMETER’S PANTRY (demeterspantry.com)—A good source of organic Greek food products and some genuinely rare and fascinating regional and artisanal fare.

GREEK INTERNET MARKET (www.greekinternetmarket.com)—Like Titan and Parthenon Foods, this site is an online Greek supermarket. The selection is a little smaller than what the other two Greek online behemoths carry but the descriptions are very thorough.

GREEKSHOPS.COM (www.greekshops.com)—A nice selection of everyday Greek ingredients, herbs and spices, coffees and teas, and cooking accessories. No cheeses, but they do offer some prepared appetizers and a range of mixes that many Greeks use to make sweets and desserts for those who don’t want to cook from scratch.

iGOURMET GREEK SHOP (www.igourmet.com/greekfood.asp)—iGourmet offers several pages of Greek products including cheese, olives, premium olive oils, coffee, gift baskets, honey, and other fairly high-end products at reasonable prices.

PARTHENON FOODS (www.parthenonfoods.com)—Like Titan, Parthenon Foods is a site with a huge variety of Greek food products, from traditional pastas to Greek sea salt and more.

MASTIHASHOPNY (mastihashopny.com)—Mastiha Shop is an online site for all things related to mastiha (mastic), the natural resin that is both one of Greece’s most seductive spices as well as a salve for all sorts of ailments. This online shop sells everything from the crystal form of the spice to cookies and chocolates flavored with mastiha, as well as a great line of health and beauty products, such as shampoo and moisturizer, perfumed with the substance.
