You don’t have to go far to enjoy the pleasures of a Mediterranean getaway. With an elegant spread of food and wine, good company and a beautiful outdoor setting, what more do you need? Create your own Mediterranean-style masterpiece with local and imported cuisine perfect for a picnic! 

Cheese, Please: Handcrafted in La Mancha region of Spain, Manchego Cheese is made with milk from free-range Manchega ewes. In old-world tradition, the cheese is aged in natural caves until the ideal flavors develop. At three months of aging, Manchego is supple and moist with a fruity grassy flavor. At six months, the cheese develops a caramel nutty flavor, and at one year, the cheese has a crumbly texture and sweet taste. 

Loafing Around: Pair luscious Mediterranean cheese with fresh artisan bread like the Sprouted Whole Wheat Round, made from scratch daily in our bakeries. During the sprouting process, kernels release additional nutrients giving them extra nutrition and taste. 

Olive the Best: From Kalamata to Nicoise, plain or stuffed, whole olives are a great complement to Mediterranean fare. Sustainably farmed in Sicily, Italy, Asaro Organic Farm Castelvetrano Green Olives are handpicked, organic and non-GMO. With a mild, sweet flavor and crunchy texture, these large green olives are delicious in a spread or as Tapenade. Don’t forget to round out your antipasti platter with a variety of tasty additions like roasted garlic, roasted tomatoes, Sweety Drops and Peppadew peppers. 

Sensational Sides: Visit our deli for chef-prepared, Mediterranean-inspired delicacies like our fresh and flavorful Greek Salad and Mediterranean Kale Salad. Made with our own oregano vinaigrette and fresh ingredients like cucumbers, red onions, Kalamata olives, feta cheese and red bell peppers, these salads are loaded with flavor, vitamins and minerals.
