what are we talking about?

Feta Cheese

Feta cheese is a classic Mediterranean dairy product that is often enjoyed on its own, in Greek salads, on bread, or mixed with zucchini. Depending on where the feta is sourced and produced, the cheese can be made from cow, sheep, or goat milk, or even a combination of the three. Regardless of the animal it comes from, this delicious cheese is a crowd favorite.

Baba Ganoush

This Levantine dish is one of the most well-known Mediterranean dishes to eat in the United States. It typically comes in the form of a dip, served with pita or another kind of dipping bread. Commonly served before dinner as an appetizer of sorts, it usually features tahini, eggplant, garlic, spices, and sometimes yogurt. This tasty cuisine works great as a spread on a sandwich, or you can even eat it with a spoon, all on its own.

Baklava

If you have never tried authentic baklava before, get ready to have your mind blown. This dessert is a traditional Mediterranean food that will have your taste buds craving more and more. Once you open a box of baklava from our Mediterranean grocery wholesaler in Charlotte, NC, you won't want to stop eating! Baklava is made with layers of thin filo dough, which is layered together, filled with chopped nuts (think pistachios), and sealed with honey or syrup. Baklava is so good that its origins are debated, leaving many wondering which country invented the dessert. Everyone from the Turks to the Greeks and even Middle Easterners hold unique takes on baklava. Try each one to discover your favorite!

Most Popular Wholesale Middle Eastern Foods

Fresh, healthy, aromatic, rich: it's no wonder that the popularity of Middle Eastern cuisine and products has skyrocketed in the United States. This genre of cuisine features a large variety of foods, from Halvah to Labneh. If there were one common theme throughout all Middle Eastern food, it would be the bright, vibrant herbs and spices that are used. These flavorings help create rich, complex flavors that foodies fawn over. Typically, Middle Eastern food is piled high for all to eat, with enough food for an entire republic to put down.

Tabbouleh

This refreshing, healthy dish is chock-full of greens, herbs, tomatoes, and bulgur (or cracked wheat), creating a memorable, bold flavor. This dish may be eaten on its own or paired with a shawarma sandwich or helping of falafel. It's best to buy your ingredients in bulk to make this dish because it tastes best freshly made with family around to enjoy. Just be sure to bring a toothpick to the tabbouleh party - you're almost certain to have some leafy greens stuck in your teeth after eating.

Shawarma

We mentioned shawarma above, and for good reason - this dish is enjoyed by men and women around the world, and of course, right here in the U.S. Except for falafel, this might be the most popular Middle Eastern food item in history. Shawarma is kind of like a Greek gyro, with slow-roasted meat stuffed in laffa with veggies and sauce. The blend of spices and the smoky meat mix together to create a tangy, meaty flavor that you will want to keep eating for hours. For western-style shawarma, try using beef or chicken. For a more traditional meal, try using lamb from our Middle Eastern grocery distributor in Charlotte, NC.

Hummus

Traditionally used as a dip meant for fresh pita, hummus is a combo of chickpeas, garlic, and tahini, blended together until silky, smooth, and creamy. You can find hummus in just about any appetizer section of a Middle Eastern restaurant menu. That's because it's considered a staple of Middle Eastern food that can be enjoyed by itself, as a spread, or with fresh-baked pita bread. Hummus is also very healthy, making it a no-brainer purchase from our grocery store.

Benefits of Eating a Mediterranean Diet

If there's one diet that is most well-known for its health benefits, it has got to be the Mediterranean diet. In 2019, U.S. News & World Report listed the Mediterranean diet as No. 1 on its best over diet list. This incredible diet has been cited to help with weight loss, brain health, heart health, diabetes prevention, and cancer prevention.

Whether you already love Mediterranean food or you're looking to make some positive changes in your life, this "diet" is for you. Eating cuisine like Greek food, Persian food, Turkish food, and Italian food is healthy and tastes great. Even better than that? At Nazareth Wholesale Grocery, we have many staples of the Mediterranean diet for sale in bulk so that you can stock up on your favorites at the best prices around.

So, what exactly is the Mediterranean diet?

It is a way of eating that incorporates traditional Greek, Italian, and other Mediterranean cultures' foods. These foods are often plant-based and make up the foundation of the diet, along with olive oil. Fish, seafood, dairy, and poultry are also included in moderation. Red meat and sweets are only eaten in moderation, not in abundance. Mediterranean food includes many forms of nuts, fruits, vegetables, fish, seeds, and more. Of course, you can find at them all at our wholesale Mediterranean grocery store!

Here are just a few of the many benefits of eating a healthy Mediterranean diet:

Reduced Risk of Heart Disease

Reduced Risk
of Heart Disease

Many studies have been conducted on this diet, many of which report that Mediterranean food is excellent for your heart. Some of the most promising evidence comes from a randomized clinical trial published in 2013. For about five years, researchers followed 7,000 men and women around the country of Spain. These people had type 2 diabetes or were at a high risk for cardiovascular disease. Participants in the study who ate an unrestricted Mediterranean diet with nuts and extra-virgin olive oil were shown to have a 30% lower risk of heart events.

Reduced Risk of Stroke for Women

Reduced Risk
of Stroke for Women

In addition to the heart-healthy benefits of a Mediterranean diet, studies have shown that eating healthy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods can reduce the chances of stroke in women. The study was conducted in the U.K., which included women between the ages of 40 and 77. Women who stuck to the Mediterranean diet showed a lower risk of having a stroke - especially women who were at high risk of having one.

Benefits of Eating a Mediterranean Diet

First and foremost, purchase your Mediterranean and Middle Eastern wholesale foods from Nazareth Grocery - we're always updating our inventory! Getting started on this healthy, delicious diet is easy.

Try these tips

1.

Instead of unhealthy sweets like candy and ice cream, try eating fresh fruit instead. It's refreshing, tasty, and often packed with great vitamins and nutrients.

2.

Try eating fish twice a week, in lieu of red meat. Fish is much healthier and doesn't have the unfortunate side effects of red meat, like inflammation.

3.

Try planning out your meals using beans, whole grains, and veggies. Don't start with meats and sweets.

4.

They're tasty, but try to avoid processed foods completely.

5.

Instead of using butter to flavor your food, use extra virgin olive oil instead. Olive oil contains healthy fats and tastes great too.

6.

Try to get more exercise and get out of the house. The Mediterranean lifestyle is an active one, best enjoyed in the beautiful sunshine when possible.

Why Buy Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Products Wholesale?

Buying wholesale and retail are quite different. When you buy products from a wholesaler, you're essentially buying from the middleman between a retail establishment and the manufacturer. Wholesale purchases are almost always made in bulk. Because of that, buyers pay a discounted price. That's great for normal buyers and great for business owners, who can sell those products to profit. This higher price is called the retail price, and it is what traditional customers pay when they enter a retail store.

North Carolina is home to one of the best ski destinations on the continent, new rankings show.

Banner Elk — positioned near mountain ski resorts — ranks No. 6 on a list of top getaway spots boasting access to slopes and nearby activities. The results come from USA Today’s 10Best, which creates travel-related rankings.

To create the list of best ski towns in North America, 10Best said it turned to travel experts. Editors narrowed down their top choices before readers voted on their favorites up to one time per day over the course of a month.

In the resulting readers’ choice awards, several of the top-ranking ski destinations were in the Northeast, West or Canada. But Banner Elk, roughly 75 miles northeast of Asheville, also made its mark on the list.

The town received praise for its proximity to the “ideal” terrain at the Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain ski resorts. “Together, those two ski areas provide Banner Elk visitors a total of 38 slopes, 17 lifts, 16 tubing lanes, two terrain parks, two ski schools and two ice skating rinks,” according to the bannerelk.com tourism website.

“Besides hitting the slopes, you can take a ride down the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster, go wine tasting at the Banner Elk Winery, indulge in great food, or go snow tubing,” 10Best wrote in its Dec. 1 report.

Though Banner Elk tourism officials have called it “North Carolina’s ski town,” the mountain destination has made a name for itself in other ways. In 2022, it ranked among the nation’s best small towns for tourists and was home to one of the most desirable Airbnb rentals.

In the more recent rankings, the No. 1 ski town was Red River, New Mexico. No place in North Carolina earned a spot on 10Best’s related lists, which considered top ski resorts, snowboarding spots and other winter travel destinations.

In the past, 10Best has told McClatchy News it doesn’t share the number of people who voted in its contests.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tickets for the Lovin Life Music Festival are now on sale. The festival, which is scheduled for May, brings some big names to Charlotte, including headliners Post Malone, Stevie Nicks and Noah Kahan.

While the festival is scheduled to take place in Uptown, many people on social media are questioning how the organizers will pull this off.

Will the festival have two stages?

No, there will actually be three stages.

"We will have three stages," Durkin said. "We will have a main stage and then we will have a local and regional stage."

Will this event take place in First Ward Park?

This one needs context. PR representatives told WCNC Charlotte that the festival will be located in the First Ward area of Uptown, not necessarily in the park and we don't exactly know the layout yet.

"It's going to be in the heart of Uptown Charlotte," Durkin said. "All the hotels are within walking distance, the light rail is right there."

Durkin said organizers will be releasing more details about where exactly the festival will take place in the coming weeks.

Are one-day ticket passes available?

No, according to the Lovin Life’s Instagram page, they commented on this question and said that, as of now, there is only a three-day pass available for purchase.

This NC restaurant ranks among nation’s best new dining spots. Why fans crave it

A North Carolina restaurant recently opened its doors — and customers can’t get enough of the food.

Now, the restaurant ranks among the best new places to eat in the country, according to results published Wednesday, Nov. 29.

The Italian dining spot — Ever Andalo in Charlotte — made it onto a list of “Top 25 Best New Restaurants of 2023. The list includes fan-favorite U.S. eateries that have launched since January 2022.

To create its rankings, the review website Yelp said it studied “a number of factors including the total volume and ratings of reviews” that customers left through August 7, 2023. The website also turned to a dining trend expert to help determine the top new restaurants.

Ever Andalo landed the No. 8 spot and was the only place in North Carolina to make it onto the list. The restaurant in Charlotte’s NoDa neighborhood serves cured meats, cannoli and other Italian-inspired favorites.

On Yelp, some customers raved about pasta they said was well cooked and flavorful. Others were fans of the focaccia, a bread that’s a nod to the restaurant’s simple and local approach to food, according to its website.

Ever Andalo also sources some ingredients from Italy, where its owners became inspired during a past trip. So it might not come as a surprise that the restaurant bears the name Andalo, a community in northern Italy.

“On our journey all those years ago, we got to experience Italian food in a very unique way — with the locals living there, making dishes that they’ve made for generations, pulling in inspiration from all over Italy, and being in the north, witnessing German and Austrian influences as well,” the restaurant wrote on its website.

In addition to being praised for its food, Ever Andalo’s customer service helped it garner more than four out of five stars on Yelp.

Ever Andalo, which launched in March 2022, isn’t the only newly-opened Charlotte restaurant to make its mark. Recently, the city’s Bird Pizzeria joined Queeny’s in Durham on a list of most beloved new dining spots in the South, McClatchy News reported.

In the latest rankings, the nation’s best new restaurant was Anima by EDO in Las Vegas.

2024 ACC Baseball Championship All-Session Tickets CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference and the Charlotte Knights have announced that the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship will return to Truist Field in Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 21-26, 2024.

“We are incredibly excited that the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship will return to the city of Charlotte, the new home of the ACC,” said ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips, Ph.D. “The Charlotte Knights, in conjunction with the Charlotte Sports Foundation, Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority and Visit Charlotte, continue to be outstanding partners and we greatly appreciate their support of the league and our member institutions. Our student-athletes, coaches, staff, alumni and fans enjoyed a tremendous experience during the 2021 and 2022 ACC Baseball Championships, and we know that will only continue as we look forward to this year’s event.”

The 2024 event will be the ACC’s 50th Baseball Championship and the 26th played in the state of North Carolina. The event’s return to Charlotte will mark the third time in four years that the ACC’s champion will be crowned in the Queen City. Duke won the 2021 championship, while North Carolina claimed the 2022 title. Previously Wake Forest (2000) and Georgia Tech (2001) also won the ACC Baseball Championship in the Charlotte area, with both tournaments being held in Fort Mill, South Carolina.

Nearly 59,000 fans attended the 2022 ACC Baseball Championship in Charlotte, which ranks as the fifth-highest attendance in tournament history. North Carolina defeated NC State in front of a sellout crowd of 10,500 to claim the 2022 ACC Baseball Championship, the largest crowd to attend an ACC Championship Game.

“The Charlotte Knights are looking forward to hosting the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship at Truist Field in Uptown Charlotte,” stated Dan Rajkowski, Charlotte Knights Chief Operating Officer. “We would like to thank the ACC for its continued commitment in bringing this week-long collegiate baseball event to our region. We are also very thankful for the continued support from the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, as well as our great partners at the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority and the Charlotte Sports Foundation.”

“We can’t wait to welcome ACC baseball fans to Uptown Charlotte in 2024,” said Danny Morrison, Executive Director of the Charlotte Sports Foundation. “Truist Field is a first-class venue and the ACC, Knights, CRVA, and other partners will put on a fantastic event.”

All-Session passes for the 2024 ACC Baseball Championship are on sale now, with prices beginning at $170 for field box and $225 for club seats. Existing Charlotte Knights season ticket holders will receive a discounted rate for the ACC Baseball Championship and will also have opportunities to purchase the same seat as Knights games.

Located in Uptown Charlotte, Truist Field opened in 2014 and is the host facility for the Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. The stadium hosted the 2016 Triple-A All-Star Game and has been the site of more than 25 collegiate baseball games. The stadium’s capacity is 10,200, and it has hosted more than four million fans since opening just under 10 years ago.

ACC Network will carry all games played Tuesday, May 21, through Saturday, May 25. ESPN’s family of networks will carry Sunday’s Championship Game. The network will be announced at a later date.

Last season, eight ACC teams were selected to compete in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, which marked the seventh year since 2010 that at least eight ACC teams landed spots in the field. The ACC has placed at least six teams in the NCAA tournament for 19 straight years. A total of 107 ACC teams have earned NCAA bids in the last 14 tournament years. The 14 current ACC baseball teams have a combined 101 Men’s College World Series appearances.

Additionally, the ACC has placed at least one team in each of the last 17 Men’s College World Series in Omaha, including Wake Forest and Virginia in 2023.

Fifty-four ACC players were selected in the 2023 Major League Baseball Draft, including 12 on opening night. It marked the 32nd consecutive year at least one ACC player was selected in the opening round and the eighth straight year the ACC placed at least one draftee among the top 15 picks.
