TASSOS® SUNDRIED TOMATOES

Back in the 1980s, it seemed like every dish on the menu featured sundried tomatoes. The tremendous popularity of sundried tomatoes did not secure their future. Such was the demand that low-quality, sawdust-tasting tomatoes were rushed into industrial dehydrators. No wonder they lost popularity when the result was a bitter, floppy textured sundried tomato with leached-out flavor.
We wish to reacquaint you with what sundried tomatoes are supposed to taste like.
We dry our tomatoes underneath the sun. This slower, ancient process of drying directly under the sun, without chemicals or preservatives, produces wonderful, dried fruit in shades of a fine Cabernet. The bright, bold taste of the highly perishable ripe tomato is preserved for year-round enjoyment.
Sun drying concentrates the tomatoes’ flavor, making them even more delicious, and concentrates the nutrients that deliver health benefits. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

How to Use & Cook with Sundried Tomatoes
One of the best things about sundried tomatoes is the many foods they pair well with. They are chewy, slightly sweet, and have tangy qualities. You will find our Sundried Tomatoes highly versatile for adding flavor and texture to any fresh or cooked dish while being low-carb and low-calorie:
- toss into pasta dishes or onto to pizzas

EAT WELL TO BE WELL:
INTRODUCING TASSOS® GREEK RUSKS & BREADSTICKS
We use only those ingredients you would use if you made our products at home.

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 diet. Rusks and Breadsticks contain the components 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 has 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.
