Trader Joe's Greek Spanakopita includes spinach and three different cheeses (feta, mizithra, and a grating cheese), plus onions, leeks, dill, and parsley. According to the product description, Trader Joe's "engaged some Athenian bakers" to make its version authentic. 

The label wasn't just smart advertising. Both my parents praised the spanakopita's authentic flavors. 

"It's crispy, and it's got a good balance of spinach and cheese," my dad said. "There isn't an overwhelming amount of spinach, which I like."

My mom also loved that the spinach still looked and tasted fresh. 

"I would definitely buy both the cheese spiral and spanakopita if I didn't have time to prepare my own," she told me.
