Hellenic Farms • Roasted Aubergine & Red Pepper • Vegan • No Preservatives • 7 oz
Melitzanosalata — Greek roasted eggplant dip — is one of the great dishes of the Mediterranean table. Smoky, earthy, and deeply satisfying, it’s made by roasting aubergine over an open flame until the skin chars and the flesh collapses into a silky, smoke-infused pulp. Hellenic Farms combines that roasted aubergine with sweet red pepper for a spread that is richer, more complex, and more versatile than a single-ingredient dip.
Open the jar and the aroma is immediately evocative — charred aubergine, sweet pepper, warm olive oil. This is what a Greek taverna mezze table smells like.
What’s Inside
Roasted Aubergine (Eggplant) — fire-roasted for a deep, smoky flavor that defines the spread
Sweet Red Pepper — adds natural sweetness and color, balancing the earthiness of the aubergine
Extra Virgin Olive Oil — the binding element that gives the spread its silky texture and Mediterranean richness
No artificial preservatives or additives — clean, authentic Greek ingredients

I loved this cheese! To the point that I never liked any cheese at all (41 years) of hating all cheese. But once I tried it it opened my world to cheeses again.
First of all, beautiful packaging, beautiful pre-presenting the whole stock and the fluffy little flower very nice.
TASTE = exquisite. Perfect subtle hint of mentor oregano perhaps..? 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
