Organic Grape Leaves from Marianna’s

Sultana Grape Vine Leaves from Greece

Vine leaves from the Sultana grape variety (also known as Thompson Seedless) are considered the best for cooking. Their broad, strong yet flexible leaves are ideal for making Greek-style dolmas as well as other leaf-wrapped delicacies. 

Marianna’s packs this jar with carefully hand-harvested Sultana vine leaves from the Kazakis family’s organic vineyard in Nea Gonia, Halkidiki, Greece. Brine preserves the grape leaves’ tender, hearty and pliable qualities that makes Sultana leaves so desirable. 

How to use

Simply rinse the leaves—no blanching required—before wrapping the perfect dolma (vine leaves stuffed with rice and herbs). But no need to stop at rice. Use these grape leaves to wrap quinoa, rounds of goat cheese, fish filets or ground meat. Or, make a Greek-inspired pilaf by cutting the leaves into thin strips and mixing with rice, feta and diced Greek Roasted Red Peppers from Hellenic Farms.
