Inside, you'll find only the best of what Greece has to offer. One of the world's great cuisines, the taste of Greece is a celebration of the highest quality foods. The perfect olive. The ripest peach. The honey that comes from Spring's first flowers.

Blessed with warm sun and the Mediterranean Sea, Greece has cultivated the finest olives, herbs and fruits over centuries. Today's Greek farmers realize that traditional growing and production methods create the finest harvests. Hand picked crops. Family recipes passed down for generations. Award-winning flavors and texture.

At Hellas, we seek out family farms and exceptional producers who embrace our high standards and traditions. And we know just where to go to find them.

Our co-founder Areti Skalkos was born and raised in the village of Vlahioti in the Peloponnese region of Greece - an area renowned for its olives. Each day on her way to school, Areti walked through her father's olive factory, savoring the smells and eating a breakfast of toasted bread drizzled with golden-green olive oil and fresh oregano.

This same olive oil which goes into every bottle of MOREA Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the same oil that Italian and Spanish olive oil producers blend with their own oils to make them taste better. And it was an undiscovered treasure until Areti began bringing it to the states as a gift for friends and family. Their praise and demand for more led us to open Hellas International.

And now, we've teamed up with WorldPantry.com to bring you our website showcasing Greek cuisine, culture, and recipes and even lets you buy online. We invite you to savor our classic honeys. Sip our traditional herb teas. And don't miss the plumpest, meatiest and most mouth-watering olives the world has to offer.

Yia Sias (To Your Health)!
