ImageI am very happy to show you all these lovely products! I broke right into the box and tried the olives and they are very unique. You can tell all of the products are fresh, and they come from Greece. 

I would like to share with you a recipe that you can use with the Gaea products.

Bruschetta Greek Style Recipe-

sourdough or ciabatta rolls- ( I used 8 open ciabatta rolls)

1 tablespoon of the gaea olive tapenade

a bunch of fresh basil

a bunch of fresh mint

1/2 cup of sundried tomatoes 0r fresh tomatoes

2 cloves of garlic

3 tsp of Gaea extra virgin olive oil

sea salt & pepper

* Parmesan cheese for the topping

 

Prepare-

In a blender, blend mint, basil, tomatoes, garlic, and place on blend. Mix thoroughly. While blending, get a baking sheet, and cut the rolls in half, and place a sprinkle of olive oil on each roll. Then place your bread in the oven on 475 or broil. Just make sure to watch your oven if it is placed on broil. Next, get a medium bowl and mix the olive tapenade and the rest of your ingredients from the blender, and mix. Make sure to brown the rolls for about 10-15 minutes. Remove the rolls and add the olive tapenade and tomato mix onto the bread. Spread the mix evenly and sprinkle a bit of parmesan cheese and cracked pepper to the top. Serve as a appetizer or with pasta. 

* Tip- you can add a tsp. of red wine to your blender for a nice flavor. 

– Cheers and as always Kali Orexi!
