Greek Gold Shines - The Greek Delicatessen debuts at the NEC

The Greek Delicatessen Ltd is a newly established, UK-based company that serves the specialist retailer. It is the sole UK importer and distributor of a wide range of home-made top quality Greek products, "as of old," made with love and respect to tradition using the most fresh and pure ingredients Greece has to offer.

The Greek Delicatessen Ltd has been created by two dedicated food lovers, Panos Maniotis and Clio Syrma. Travelling all around Greece they have discovered gourmet treasures and fantastic delicacies produced by independent, family-run businesses with many years' presence in the market and, what's more, with passion for their products.

The company's range includes Superb Extra Virgin, organic and infused olive oils, fantastic olives and paste, exotic, aromatic and balsamic vinegars, delicious home-made products such as pasta, sauces, desserts, jams and marmalades, the famous Cretan rusks and cookies, glorious honey, fresh baklava, and unique Mastiha products.

Many of the Greek Delicatessen's products have won Great Taste Awards while the packaging is standing out creating a totally new perception regarding the Greek food. The products are not massively produced; in fact, they are available only in limited quantities basically for the specialist retailer.

Greek Cuisine is a fantastic mix of Oriental, Asian, Balkan, European and Mediterranean food with influences from Ancient Greece and the Byzantine times through to today's contemporary era. Being the crossroad between Europe and Asia, Greece has found ways to match ingredients and recipes from both sides with exotic, delicious results that give food a unique taste. Olive oil, olives, vegetables, herbs and fruit play a key role in the Greek food while butter and red meat are not used that often. In recent years scientific research and medical evidence have shown that high quantities of olive oil, vegetables and fruit result in lower cancer and heart disease rates.

More than 2.5 million Britons visit Greece every year! Apart from the sun and the sea they know Greek food. By adding these products to your range you add value to your business as the average "Greek style" product, mass-produced for the big super market chains and often made anywhere but Greece, does not match the quality and taste of the original. The products are fast movers and a gourmet delight. They give your customer a much more wide choice, and strengthen the loyalty to your business.
