ABOUT US
Importer of All Natural and Specialty Greek Foods
Demeter's Pantry started in 2003 out of my passion for Greek Foods, my experiece working with food producers in Greece, and my frustration with the limited offer of authentic Greek Foods in the US market.
Our Mission
Demeter’s Pantry is a specialty food company working to promote authentic Greek cuisine in the United States and help preserve traditional methods of production in Greece. Through Demeter’s Pantry, we import products from some of the best artisanal and organic producers in Greece. We also use many of these same high quality products to make in the United States our own products based on traditional recipes that we learned in our families’ kitchens in Greece.
We form close partnerships with our suppliers in Greece, working with them to develop well-designed marketing campaigns to ensure that their products succeed in the United States. Committed to rural development in Greece, we subscribe to the principles of fair trade and ensure that our partners receive fair prices for their products.
To allow American consumers to enjoy the full range of the Greek cuisine, Demeter’s Pantry has developed an in-house brand. The Greek Table™ , we provide a window into the high quality everyday food experiences – delicious fresh pre-prepared meals – that characterize Greek life.
Our Logo
Demeter’s Pantry is named after the ancient Greek goddess Demeter (Dimitra in Greek). According to Greek mythology, Demeter was the goddess of agriculture. She taught men how to make flour and women how to make bread. For us, she symbolizes a tradition on family farms in Greece of producing natural, healthful foods, a tradition that stretches back across 30 centuries, a tradition that we know you will enjoy.
