Taste of Crete Announces the Ta Mylelia Product Line
Taste of Crete is the exclusive importer of this extraordinary line of home-style, artisinal preserves and savories from Ta Mylelia, a Greek company committed to preserving the traditional flavors and products of rural Greece.
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.– (BUSINESS WIRE) – December 9, 2007 – Taste of Crete now exclusively represents the Ta Mylelia line of products in the United States. Well-known in Greece for its high-quality products and artisanal production methods, Ta Mylelia makes a marvelous extension to Taste of Crete's current lineup of traditional Greek foods. The Gourmet Marketplace in the December issue of Gourmet News featured Ta Mylelia and described its products as “extraordinary”.
Commented Esther Luongo Psarakis, owner and founder of Taste of Crete, “We too were impressed with the extraordinary quality of Ta Mylelia products. When we were planning a Greek Festival promotion with a chain of specialty food stores that we work with, our client specifically asked us to find unique, outstanding Greek products for their upscale, sophisticated customers. When we saw Ta Mylelia’s amazing products, we knew that they would be the right choice. That festival became our opportunity to represent this incredible company and its delicious products.”
Ta Mylelia offers an unique line of home-style jams, preserves, savories, olives, herb-flavored vinegars, pastas and honey desserts. These products are the embodiment of a life-long passion of one woman, Christina Panteleimoniti, for the forgotten tastes and smells of rural Greece. Travelling throughout rural Greece, Christina has collected traditional Greek recipes, some of them almost forgotten.
Using only the highest quality ingredients, produced by local farmers, every product in the Ta Mylelia line is made by hand from start to finish by the same woman in a home-style kitchen as it would have been done in a Greek home. This method of cooking maintains the integrity of the food, resulting in intense, earthy and unforgettably flavorful products. It is no surprise that Ta Mylelia’s delicious products have received international awards and recognition all across Europe and increasingly in the United States.
Taste of Crete is an import company with a strong focus on supporting artisan, women and agricultural cooperatives in Greece. Its award winning products are sold in leading natural and gourmet specialty stores. It was a 2007 finalist in the American Express’ Make Mine a Million Business Program for Women Entrepreneurs. More recently, Taste of Crete won the 2007 Small Business Vitality Award from the Somerset Business Partnership.
These award winning products can be seen on the Taste of Crete website at www.tasteofcrete.com. Ta Mylelia products are also the initial selection for Taste of Crete's Greek Food of the Month Club. For wholesale pricing, please call at (908) 685-2035.
