ingredients

Garlic

You can't call it Greek if it doesn't have garlic. This is the savory, slow-roasted backbone flavor that ties everything together. 

Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Drying concentrates tomato's natural sugars and acidity into something deeper and jammier, giving Greek Freak that unmistakable tang that reads as "slow-cooked" even on a quick weeknight dinner. 

Basil, Oregano & Thyme

Greek Freak smells like it means business the moment you open the lid. This herbaceous bundle turns "seasoned" into "someone clearly knew what they were doing." 

Orange Peel

Orange peel adds a bright, slightly bitter lift that keeps the richness of the tomato and umami in check. 

Nutritional Yeast

Nutritional yeast is doing the most unexpected work in the jar. Savory and faintly cheesy, it brings an umami depth that gives Greek Freak that craveable, can't-quite-place-it richness people keep going back for.
