Greek Meze & Appetizers

Welcome to the heart of Greek hospitality. Greek meze (or mezedes) are far more than just appetizers; they are a way of life—a cherished social tradition of sharing small, flavorful plates with friends and family. At elenianna.com, we are the premier curators of artisanal Greek appetizers, sourcing directly from small-batch producers across Greece to bring this authentic experience to your table.

What is a Traditional Greek Meze Platter?

A true meze platter is a vibrant, balanced mosaic of flavors and textures. It's not a single dish but an array of small plates that arrive over time, perfectly paired with ouzo, tsipouro, or wine. Our collection provides everything you need to build an unforgettable, gourmet meze experience, centered around these key elements:

• The Spreads: Rich, savory dips like Melitzanosalata (smoked eggplant) or Tirokafteri (spicy feta).
• The Cured & Stuffed: Iconic bites like hand-rolled Dolmades (stuffed vine leaves) and our Navarino Icons Stuffed Red Peppers.
• The Sea: Sun-drenched flavors of the Aegean, such as premium cured octopus or anchovies in olive oil.
• The Earth: World-renowned Kalamata olives, pickled capers, and roasted Florina peppers.
