OUR STORY

Mediterranean Meals Inc. is a family owned and operated business that provides freshly cooked and flash frozen healthy and tasty prepared meals based on the Mediterranean Diet. The Mediterranean Diet is a way of eating that has been scientifically proven to help fend off and control debilitating diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity; which have reached epidemic proportions. Dr. Richard Saitta M.D. , who heads the Mediterranean Meals operation, is a long time member of the American College of Nutrition and culinary expert. He felt a social obligation to educate and offer a healthy meal solution for his patients in order for them to lead a healthier more bountiful life.

Based on the demands of his patients, Dr. Saitta and his wife Juliana offered healthy cooking classes based on the Mediterranean Diet. Cooking classes were only the beginning of the family venture. Patients wanted the taste and nutrition of the Mediterranean Diet without the shopping, cooking or cleaning! So, in order to fulfill their requests, Dr. Saitta, his wife Juliana, and their four children: Tania, Lara, Melissa, and Sebastien started preparing healthy frozen meals, offering a comprehensive meal solution for those wanting convenience, while eating food that is nutritionally sound. Unlike other frozen meal products, Mediterranean Meals is low in sodium and high in flavor. We only use extra-virgin olive oil as our main source of fat and bold spices and herbs, that even the most finicky palate will love!

Eating the Mediterranean way comes naturally to us because that's what we know. From generation to generation, all the way down to the newest member of our family, we all grew up eating the foods of the Mediterranean diet. Our grandmothers, great grandmothers, and mothers cooked this way. It was and is a way of life for us. When we visit our family in Europe, we go every day to the open air market and pick out the freshest fruits and vegetables that the season has to offer. Then we make our way over to the port where the fisherman dock their boats and buy the catch of the day. This is the true essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle! Even when we are far away from the Mediterranean Sea and our family abroad, here at home we visit our local farmer's market and get our produce there.

It's not a fad and more and more, the Mediterranean diet is being recognized for it's health benefits. We always knew we were eating healthy, but the important part is that we enjoy eating healthy. The Mediterranean table is abundant in flavor, taste, color and smell.

Each and every day, our goal at Mediterranean Meals is to provide customers with the true flavors and health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet.
