There are three mixes in the Greek Cuisine Classics line-up:  the Greek Shepherd’s Souvlaki and BBQ Mix, Greek Granny’s Tzatziki Mix & the Greek Farmer’s Salad Mix.

About Sparoza

Sparoza was started in 2014 by Efi Ekmetzoglou, an Athenian whose family originated from Anatolia. She left a 20-year career as a publisher to translate her passion for herbs and spices into a a new career. Seeking the finest raw materials and making her own lemon and orange zest, Efi captured the blends she had always used in her own cooking and began selling them around her Athens neighborhood of Exarcheia before opening a small production facility soon after.

Efi selects the raw materials for her products using strict criteria: rosemary and thyme are picked when in blossom, she makes her very own top quality citrus zest using fresh Greek lemons and oranges, every ingredient is ground to a different degree so as to best preserve its culinary and nutritional value. Importantly for us, Sparoza products do not contain preservatives, additives, artificial flavors nor colorants.
