Keys to Eastern Mediterranean Taste

HOT AND GETTING HOTTER

Tap into the Eastern Mediterranean food trend

This food region stretches from the coasts of Greece and Turkey, through Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria and Jordan, all the way to Egypt and further into North Africa. Some call it the Middle East, while others refer to the Levant. Either way, it’s melting pot of flavours that are trending big time.
