Established in 2014. Taste of Old Country was brought to conception through years of planning, where founder Elias Zarkadoulas, conceptualized a gourmet retail to consumer concept that would enable the everyday consumer here in the United States the ability to enjoy and appreciate the key nutritional elements that come from Oil and Vinegar and that he and his family enjoy on a day to day basis, with a variety of foods. His vision continued to expand and was fully completed in June of 2019 with the official grand opening of Taste of Old Country’s artisan location in Balls Ford Center. You can visit Taste of Old Country to purchase all of your favorite Artisan products for the home, or if out with friends, drop in to enjoy an in-house Artisan food menu featuring a variety of small bites, unique paninis, signature salads, charchuterie boards, desserts, imported wine/beer and most importantly the Greek hospitality that Elias and his staff offer.
