Mediterranean Flavors
By Essen Food Group

In the Mediterranean it's not uncommon for friends and families to sit for hours around the dining table - enjoying great food, and telling stories. This experience is designed to embrace all the deliciously full flavors of the Mediterranean diet - using fresh local ingredients and herbs that are packed full of healthy benefits. Served family-style so you can enjoy telling your own stories around the table.
