Bridging the Mediterranean
and the American Market
An Area Blue approach to sourcing, ensuring every product tells the story of the land and the hands that nurtured it.
Who We Are
We are a U.S.-based Mediterranean food importer and brokerage company specializing in sourcing premium products from Greece and the broader Mediterranean region. Unlike traditional distributors, we operate as a dedicated import and brokerage partner — connecting world-class Mediterranean producers with the American market.
International Presence
Beyond the United States, we have established partnerships and a growing presence in Canada and Latin America, including Panama and Chile — bringing authentic Mediterranean flavors to consumers across the Americas.
Warehousing
Our 3PL warehouse, located at Rockaways Warehouse in New Jersey, serves as our East Coast hub for efficient product storage and distribution. With flexible, scalable capacity that adapts to seasonal demand, we ensure reliable fulfillment year-round.
Our Reach
We work with a nationwide network of distributors who place our products in over 2,000 retail and foodservice locations across the country — spanning California, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts, Florida, and the Tri-State area.
Retail & Foodservice Partnerships
Our products are featured in major national chains including BJ's Wholesale Club, HEB, and Restaurant Depot, as well as through leading national distributor Lipari Foods.
We also maintain a strong independent client base in major metropolitan areas such as New York City and Chicago, supplying both everyday establishments and acclaimed high-end restaurants including Milos and Kyma.
Bringing America to Europe
We are excited to announce a new chapter in our story: the export of American food products to the European market. As we explore the exciting potential of this emerging arm of our business, our current focus is on premium American dairy products — with plans to expand into uniquely American specialty foods that are difficult to source in European markets. This new direction reflects our commitment to building bridges between the American and Mediterranean food worlds, and we look forward to growing this transatlantic relationship in the years ahead.
“We don’t just import products; we import relationships built on trust and heritage.”
Our Partners
At Area Blue USA, we operate at the intersection of tradition and international logistics. Our model bypasses massive industrial aggregators in favor of small-scale, organic producers across the Peloponnese, Crete, and the Aegean Islands.
Each partner is selected for their adherence to ancestral farming methods and their commitment to organic integrity. By working directly with these artisans, we ensure absolute traceability from the specific grove or hive to the final retail destination.
