June is a time when nature reaches its peak, bringing vibrant summer flavors to our tables, packed with the fresh produce of the Mediterranean. With markets brimming with fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and sun-ripened fruits, it's the perfect time to embrace the season and refresh your dining experience.
At GREYMINT, we believe that tables should not only be filled with deliciousness but should also be sustainable and elegant. Here are some of the key Mediterranean delights in June and ways to present them in the most refined way:
Season’s Colorful Stars: Tomatoes, Artichokes, Fava Beans, and Summer Onions
Key ingredients of Mediterranean cuisine, such as tomatoes, artichokes, fresh fava beans, and summer onions, come into their own during June. Olive oil-braised artichokes, fava bean purée, or tangy tomato salad—these are the simple but powerful flavors nature offers.
Serving Tip: Serve these fresh ingredients in a YAYA Olive Wood Wonky Bowl to bring natural warmth and texture to your table. The wood’s surface highlights the food's natural beauty and adds a rustic touch to your presentation.
Aromatic Summer: Mint, Thyme, Basil, and Arugula
The refreshing herbs of the Mediterranean are at their most fragrant and flavorful in June. Bring the spirit of summer to your table with arugula salads, minty yogurt dips, basil pasta, or lemony thyme olive oils.
Serving Tip: To enhance the richness and natural flavors of your olive oil-based sauces and aromatic herb appetizers, use the YAYA Olive Wood Pestle & Mortar to grind and blend your spices. This elegant product adds both a stylish and functional touch, completing your table with natural beauty.
A Sweet Touch: Strawberries, Mulberries, and Honey
June brings the sweetest gifts of the season. Fresh strawberries, mulberries, and honey add color and flavor to your table, whether at breakfast or in desserts. Honey sweetens these fruits, providing a natural and elegant touch.
Serving Tip: You can serve these sweet fruits in the YAYA Olive Wood Everyday Bowl to create a simple yet impressive fruit platter. Add a few mint leaves or lavender flowers to create a moment that delights both the eyes and the palate. You can also drizzle honey from the YAYA Olive Wood Honey Drizzler into the YAYA Olive Wood Heart-Shaped Bowl to add a sweet touch.
Summer Beverages: Crisp Whites, Smooth Rosé, Rich Reds
As the weather warms up in summer, a glass of fine wine becomes the perfect companion. A crisp white wine, a smooth rosé, or a rich red wine offer the ideal refreshment to enjoy during summer evenings.
Serving Tip: Display your wine in style with the YAYA Olive Wood Wine Bottle Holder. The elegant design of the holder adds a touch of natural beauty to your table, making it the perfect way to showcase your wine during summer gatherings.
