VaVa’s Artisan
Quality Vegetable
Products Bring
Ancient Traditions
To The
Modern Table
VaVa vegetable products are a pioneer in
all natural, homemade Mediterranean
specialties. Their current line of gourmet
vegetables, pickles and spicy spreads has
successfully grown from an ethnic market
leader into mainstream supermarkets, natural
food stores, delis and specialty gourmets.
Through it all, their products have maintained
a consistent level of high quality
alongside an unbeatable taste.
VaVa products are produced in a familyowned
factory in Macedonia, just north of
Greece. The vegetables used in their products
are grown in local farms using high
grade, unaltered seeds and soil. Trained VaVa
technicians monitor the vegetable field’s
health throughout the season so that only the
best batches will be used in the final product.
The vegetables are then picked and
processed by hand. It is this attention to
detail that, year after year, yields the high
quality products that VaVa brings to market.
The VaVa product line ranges from
family-size jarred vegetables and salads
(83 ounces) to their signature “amphora”
products (19 ounces), which are gorgeously
packaged. The recipes for these spreads are
centuries old and, even though the methods
in agriculture and production have improved
since then, the rustic, homemade flavor
remains the same.
The most popular of these products are the
roasted vegetable spreads, continually
praised by customers for the “freshly
roasted” taste that the VaVa vegetable
spreads exhibit. Their Lutenica (a chunky
blend of roasted peppers, carrots and tomatoes)
and Ajvar (a creamy mix of roasted
peppers and eggplant) are a perfect addition
to sandwiches, or side dishes and make
exquisite dips, spreads and toppings.
Especially wonderful about VaVa products
is that they are all natural, containing no preservatives
or additives, other than a bit of salt.
They are also low in both carbohydrates and
calories (per serving), as well as being naturally
gluten-free. Considering these products contain
no meat, they are also perfect for vegetarians.
Success in the American mainstream market
has given consumers a great new choice
for their dietary needs. Consumers have
started to incorporate these into everyday
meals such as Lutenica pizza (lutenica
spread on some fresh bread and drizzled with
mozzarella and pepperoni) and Ajvar quesadillas
(flatbread grilled with ajvar, cheese,
and fresh vegetables in the middle). These
recipes, and more, can now be found on the
company’s website, www.vavafoods.com,
alongside an online store that boasts more
than 300 different products.
All VaVa products are exclusively imported
