How long does Spanakopita usually last?

This is a GREAT question!
This is my personal experience, 3 days in the fridge in a zip lock bag, and maybe a month frozen (cooked). I have frozen uncooked spanakopita and cooked in the oven and they turned out great.
Hope this helps!

It lasts about a week in the fridge. When I make a batch, I actually make double the recipe. I freeze one of them uncooked. You just cover the pita with wax paper, and then plastic wrap. Take it out of the freezer, unwrap it, and bake it until it is done. You can cook it frozen, it just takes a little longer than normal. You can also thaw it for 24 hours before you bake it.

Enjoying Cooking with Greek Honey

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.

I've recently developed a keen interest in Greek cuisine and I'm on a mission to incorporate more of its flavors into my daily cooking. Given the vast knowledge pool here, I thought this would be the perfect place to ask about must-have Greek pantry staples.
From what I gather, olive oil, olives, and feta cheese seem like obvious essentials. But I'm curious about the less obvious, yet equally important ingredients that could elevate my dishes with authentic Greek flavors.
Are there specific herbs, spices, or any other pantry items that are staples in Greek cooking? Additionally, if there are brands or types of these ingredients that you swear by, I'd love to hear about those too.
