EAT WELL TO BE WELL:

INTRODUCING TASSOS® GREEK RUSKS & BREADSTICKS

Consumers expect more from their food than ever before. Nearly three out of four people recently responded to a national survey that they are committed to at least one health, wellness, ethical or environmental attribute among the foods they eat.

This survey appears to reflect the growing desire among consumers to move past general claims of “all natural” to specifically understanding the kind of food they’re buying. Besides food with no artificial ingredients or preservatives, consumers want to know where their food comes from and if it is environmentally sustainable.

Being well and eating well is not a fad. Tassos offers foods central to the Mediterranean diet. It is a simple diet that emphasizes eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals, beans, nuts, seeds, and a lot of quality olive oil.

It is not just any diet. It has been proven to add healthier years to our lives and it has also been declared as an “intangible cultural heritage of humanity” by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Imagine? Up there with the likes of the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India and Greece’s Acropolis, is essentially an ancient yet very simple guide to food choices.

Three other remarkable aspects of the Mediterranean diet are:

It is complete and balanced, and no food is excluded.
It has a better impact on our planet.
It never bores your palate.

In keeping with bringing our customers a passport free taste of Greece, Tassos® introduces an authentic line of baked goods that are important in the daily Mediterranean’s’ diet. Rusks and Breadsticks contain the component needed for delicious, healthy eating --- whole grains and seeds.

Rusks, or paximadia in Greek, are dry, hard biscuits or twice-baked bread. You may already be familiar with similar hard biscuits – biscotti and Melba Toast, so there is no need to be intimated by these hard toasts. Their appeal is in their versatility, variety and complexity of flavors and they are great at soaking up liquids!

Our rusks recipes are baked on the island of Crete, Greece and have been since antiquity. Rusks are a universal part of Cretan cuisine, the prototype of the Mediterranean diet!

Our four Cretan Rusks are extremely healthy, with a good fiber content, no cholesterol, superior grade dietary fats, no added sugars or preservatives and they all have a good long shelf life.

Whole Wheat Rusks with Greek Olive Oil have a nutty, hearty taste.
Whole Barley Rusks with Greek Olive Oil have less gluten than other grains and is a bold, wholesome grain.
Whole Rye Rusk with Greek Olive Oil have an intense rye flavor and dense texture.
Carob Rusk with Greek Olive Oil is naturally sweet while being caffeine-free and a good source of fiber.
