Grecian Delight® Foods has created a line of flatbreads that harkens back to the original artisans of the Mediterranean. From our Mediterranean roots, our baking experience has taken us from pita bread to other flatbreads such as Naan, Lavash and Focaccia. We infuse our baking expertise with multiple flavors and shapes to create flatbreads that are on target with consumer demand.



History and Use of Mediterranean Flatbreads

Traditional, ethnic lavash is a thin cracker-like bread that is rolled flat. When fresh, it is flexible like a tortilla and is often used to make wrap sandwiches, "hi-rollers" and as a base for brick oven pizzas.

Naan is the main bread consumed in India and resembles pita bread. It is usually served hot brushed with ghee or butter. Naan is also used to "scoop" food, serve stuffed with a filling or covered with toppings such as meat, vegetables or cheese.

Popular in Italy, focaccia can be seasoned with olive oil and herbs, topped with onion, cheese and meat or flavored with vegetables. Focaccia can be used as a side to many meals, as a base for pizza or as sandwich bread.

The most common flatbread available, pita originated in the Middle East and is one of the oldest flatbreads known. These soft, thin, versatile breads provide the basis for a variety of on-the-go, popular items like filled pocket & wrap sandwiches or pizza.
