Our Founding Principles

We believe that food is a special way to experience ancient traditions and appreciate the rich history of the people who still live by them today. These artisans are proud of their craft and we want to take you and your guests on that journey to these remote and unique places. We also know that these foods have been considered healthy for millenia and modern science is revealing more of the benefits today.
