GREECE Land of Legends

Nestled within the tranquil blue of the Mediterranean Sea lies this fabled land of legend and mythology. Since antiquity, Greece has been the foundation in theatre, philosophy, mathematics, and medicine. It is no wonder that she is regarded as the Birthplace of Democracy and the Cradle of Civilization.

Her land is varied spanning from mountains reaching the Gods to lush valleys with groves of olive trees shimmering in the Aegean sun. The seas which surround her are speckled with ancient islands and for thousands of years, her people have lived from the all the bounties her lands and seas offer.

Today, this ancient way of life and its importance to health and wellbeing is recognized as the Mediterranean Diet.

AN ANCIENT GREEK RECIPE

In Homer’s Odyssey, Cyclops Polyphemus is known to be the first person to prepare feta cheese. Polyphemus allowed his sheep to freely graze and he spent his days tending to his animals and to his land. One day, he was carrying milk that he gathered from his sheep that was wrapped in lambskin. When he opened the milk to inspect it, the milk had curdled and thus, feta cheese was born.
