    Shoreline Foods International Market & Deli - Our Signature Extra Virgin Olive Oil

    Went in this past weekend looking for their olive oil and they are once again out. It happens…read more It's an agricultural product and half the times it is held up on customs, but this time the store is refusing to pay what amounts to double the price for the raw oil. We can wait, but we ended up paying three times what we would have for Shoreline's regular priced oil when we bought it from Bodacious Olive. And while I am at it......What is going on with the inventory? The place is bare. No oil and no stock. Is everything ok?

    Shoreline was my "Greek Salad Spot" when I was in college. I also bought all of my olive oil here…read moreand my parents still come here to get a huge can of olive oil. On this trip to visit my patents on our way back from Joe Patti I pulled in as it had been years since I had the Greek salad. Upon walking in I noticed for the first time that Chania Greece was highlighted on the Crete Map outside of the restaurant. As we looked for the olive oil we noticed new packaging with a map of Crete, again with a marker on Chania! We were so excited because my mom and I had just had the most wonderful time in Chania a year ago. The owner was butchering some meat and asked if we had questions and of course we talked about his hometown, in Crete. I have since temporarily moved back to Pensacola for some real estate projects before moving abroad and have come back for the Greek Salad several times. On my last visit there was no Olive oil. I know they import from Chania so not only is it the best olive oil but once it's out it's probably out for a while. I recommend the salads here...they aren't as big as they were when I was in college but they are still tasty and the dressing is everything!

    Merefa, is now a big let down…read more What started as the best European grocery/deli & bakery, has deflated back into just a "Great European grocer." The good news is, it's still a great European grocery. But, the owner told me he has given up on the bakery. Last time I was in, the owner, who is a very lovely man, told me he has given up on the bakery part of the business. I asked if he had any raspberry crossants and he said "No" and I asked him if he had any "Vatrushka" and he said; "No, we aren't making the Vatrushka anymore, it's just too time consuming, it's too hard, we don't have time, we weren't making any money making the Vatrushka, so we aren't making them anymore, it is what it is." He went on to tell me that he is selling a pre-packaged one from NYC & that it's pretty good, tried to sell me those, which I refused. If you don't know what "Vatrushka" is, it's "Russian Vatrushka." It's a pastry filled with farmers cheese & cow berry. Vatrushka is a staple of Russian baking. A gorgeous round, open-faced pastry with a creamy cottage cheese/farmers cheese, with a spot of beautiful purple cowberry/elderberry filling. A super luxurious pastry somewhat like a cheese danish that blends somewhere between dessert and breakfast, offering a gentle sweetness wrapped in soft, yeasted dough. Moi fave. My specialty OuiOui. I'm so very saddened to hear of anyone giving up on their business bc they can't make it work, bc it's too hard, it's too much work, not makin any profits bla bla bla. But i'm just over the moon, really excited for you, that you have decided to go the direction of deli & convenience store only, if that makes more sense for you, that's awesome, you have my blessing. And I am just over the moon excited that you have given me your blessing, that I myself or anyone may now open a Vatrushka shop here in Pensacola, since you have given up on it. Maybe when I open my art gallery here in Pensacola, I will serve my own Russian American Vatrushka. See what happens.. Unfortunately, "Merefa" has now been downgraded one star and taken off my "Best Bakeries list" but it is still one of my favorite European deli's in Pensacola & is still on my "Where are the Treasures lists for fave grocer/deli's." Will Return.
