Krinós Taramosalata 227g (8oz)

Krinos Taramosalata is an 8oz (227g) jar of taramosalata from Krinos — the Greek-American specialty food brand — the classic Greek fish roe spread (tarama = fish roe, salata = salad/spread) made from cured fish roe (typically carp or cod roe) blended with olive oil, lemon juice, and bread or potato into the smooth, pale pink or white creamy spread that is one of the most characteristic and beloved mezze dishes of Greek cuisine. Krinos Foods is a New York-based Greek-American specialty food company founded in 1952 to serve the Greek diaspora community in the United States, producing a wide range of Greek food products including olives, feta, phyllo, and specialty products that have made Krinos the most recognisable Greek food brand in the North American specialty grocery market. Taramosalata is a fundamental Greek mezze and dip: the fish roe spread that appears on every Greek taverna table alongside olives, tzatziki, and bread, that is eaten with particular generosity during Lenten fasting as one of the few permitted foods, and that the Greek-Cypriot and broader Eastern Mediterranean culinary tradition has made one of the most specific and distinctive flavour experiences of the region — the briny, rich, creamy fish roe paste that pairs with bread and lemon in a combination that is quintessentially Greek. Spread on warm pita or crusty bread as the Greek mezze dip, serve alongside tzatziki and other dips as the mezze table spread, dress as a dip for raw vegetables or pita chips, or use as the component spread in a Greek or Eastern Mediterranean mezze board.
