These moderately spicy, fruity-tasting chili flakes from Daphnis and Chloe, an Athens-based culinary herb company, are made from a variety of red horn pepper that is only found in one region in Greece. The peppers are smoked for three weeks with aromatic birch wood and are ideal for adding subtle smokiness and spice to all manner of dishes. Keep them tableside for last-minute garnishing.

These limited-production dried thyme flowers come from thymus capitatus, a wild variety of thyme unique to the Greek coasts, and have a bolder presence than other brands. We love their bright, piquant profile and flavor falling between conventional thyme and oregano. Daphnis and Chloe partners with local foragers to find the delicate buds, which are hand-cut and dried intact so that they retain their essential oils up until you use them — just grind them up between your fingers to release their aroma.
