Collection: Mediterranean

Mediterranean traditional food is a diverse cuisine focused on plant-based foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, and whole grains, with olive oil as a primary source of fat. It also includes an abundance of seafood, a moderate amount of dairy, and less frequent consumption of red meat. Key ingredients feature fresh produce, herbs, spices, legumes, and whole grains, with meal preparations often being simple.  Mediterranean cooking utilizes a wide array of herbs and spices, with oregano, basil, parsley, mint, thyme, rosemary, and sage being among the most common fresh herbs. Common spices include cumin, coriander, paprika, saffron, and sumac, often used to add warmth and depth to dishes. These ingredients, both fresh and dried, contribute to the vibrant flavors and aromas characteristic of the region. SALTOPIA's curated selection enhance any Mediterranean recipe.
