Today’s blog is all about Greka Foods – an authentic, artisan producer of real, hearty Greek produce which is based on the owner’s family recipes, honoring the healthy Greek Mediterranean diet.
Greka was born out of our love for Greece: its land and its produce.
Founded in 2016 by the lovely couple Ian and Sofia, the team at Greka are experts in creating THE BEST authentic, all-natural Greek products that speak to everyone’s heart by utilising the best produce Greece has to offer.
Greka’s products are based on recipes passed through generations of Sofia’s family – from Sofia’s grandmother, to her mother, Georgia. Their recipe philosophy is simple – to allow superb ingredients to speak for themselves.
The desire to share their family’s authentically produced delicacies with us is pretty much their unique story; a story about exceptional produce, fresh ingredients and delicious flavours.
I was delighted to have received a gifted selection of Greka products from the lovely owner, Sofia, who suggested to review their award winning products, such as the handmade Tomato Sauces & Greek Honey.
Here’s a couple of Sofia’s personally recommended ingredient focussed dishes for both a Prawns and Meatball related dish;
1) Cumin Meatballs;
