Each year, as part of our long-standing relationship with SOS Children’s Villages Greece, we begin with a simple question: What do you need most right now? The answer guides our actions. Rather than following a fixed program, we choose to respond to real, current needs, thoughtfully and with respect.
To support this need, medbest donated three automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to SOS Children’s Villages in Ilioupoli, Vari, and Thrace. The equipment will help strengthen safety across the facilities, supporting children, caregivers, employees, and visitors. In Thrace, the defibrillator will also serve the SOS Day Care Center for People with Disabilities, extending its benefit beyond the Children’s Village itself.
“Meaningful social contribution is not about visibility, but about consistency. By maintaining an open dialogue with SOS Children’s Villages every year, we are able to support initiatives that truly make a difference.”
“Our collaboration with medbest shows how consistency and care can make a real difference. The emergency heart devices they donate enhance the safety of children, staff and visitors at SOS Children’s Villages in Vari and Thrace, as well as at our central offices in Ilioupoli, providing essential support to our structures. We sincerely thank them for their trust and long-term commitment to our work.”
Our cooperation with SOS Children’s Villages is renewed every year and built on trust.
We do not approach it as a campaign, but as a relationship: one that evolves through open communication and mutual understanding. By listening first and acting second, we aim to offer support that is relevant, useful, and grounded in reality.
By maintaining open dialogue and acting with intention, we aim to contribute in ways that are steady, relevant, and grounded in reality.
While medbest is known for bringing Mediterranean products to tables around the world, our vision goes further.
Our work is guided by a commitment to integrity toward our partners and employees, continuous improvement in quality and innovation, and an active role in supporting the communities around us.
As we look ahead, with 30 years of activity in 2026, we remain focused on steady progress rather than milestones alone.
Actions like this year’s donation are part of a broader, ongoing effort to contribute where it matters, without excess emphasis or expectation.

Dubai Exhibition Centre → Greek Pavilion → South Halls → Hall 3 → Stand A-68Inspired by Greek mythology and rooted in the rich culinary traditions of the Mediterranean, NEFÉLI was born in Greece but quickly found its audience far beyond its borders. Over the years, the brand has traveled across four continents, building a strong global presence and earning international recognition for its quality, creativity, and authentic flavors.
NEFÉLI represents a contemporary expression of Greek gastronomy — combining premium raw materials, carefully crafted recipes, and a constant pursuit of excellence. The brand is currently present in more than 35 countries and has been distinguished in leading international taste competitions, earning multiple awards for both classic and innovative olive recipes.
These distinctions reflect NEFÉLI’s commitment to consistent quality, bold flavor combinations, and a modern approach to Mediterranean food culture.
Greek consumers can now discover a curated selection of NEFÉLI products, including:
Each product is designed to balance tradition with creativity, offering familiar tastes alongside unexpected flavor experiences.
Reflecting on the brand’s return to Greece, Konstantinos Marianos, Founder & CEO of medbest, shares:
“Introducing NEFÉLI to the Greek market carries deep emotional and symbolic meaning for us. The brand returns to the country that inspired its creation. After three decades of international growth and recognition, we are proud to finally share NEFÉLI with Greek consumers.”
They sit at the center of the table, shared slowly, scooped generously, and revisited again and again between bites, conversations, and glasses raised.
With Neféli Salads, this everyday ritual is reimagined through the lens of refined antipasti. This new sub-line expands the Neféli Antipasti world into spoonable, textured, ready-to-serve compositions, rich in vegetables, layered with olives, herbs, and gentle spice, and designed for modern grazing and sharing moments.
Each recipe feels familiar yet thoughtfully composed: bold enough to stand on its own, balanced enough to pair effortlessly with breads, cheeses, grilled vegetables, or simple proteins. The result is a range that brings color, freshness, and depth to the table, without preparation, without compromise.
This is where the story begins: with olives.
Green and Kalamata olives form the backbone of this blend, joined by red peppers, capers, garlic, and oregano.
The profile is aromatic and savory, with a natural richness that recalls sunlit tables, warm bread, and simple ingredients treated with respect.
Spoon it over toasted bread, serve it alongside cheeses, or let it anchor an antipasti spread. It’s a classic Mediterranean idea, refined into a ready-to-enjoy format.
Hearty, generous, and full of texture, the Farmer’s Olive Salad feels like something discovered at a well-stocked deli counter.
A mix of diced and wedged olives is layered with cauliflower, carrots, celery, and pepperoncini, finished with herbs, garlic flakes, and subtle spice. Every bite delivers contrast, soft and crisp, briny and fresh, creating a salad that’s deeply satisfying and endlessly versatile.
It’s the kind of dish that belongs in the middle of the table, meant to be shared, revisited, and remembered.
Bold, vibrant, and unapologetically lively, Neféli Giardiniera brings energy to the antipasti experience.
Crunchy vegetables meet pickled garlic, jalapeño, and pepperoncini, balanced with herbs and a gentle heat that builds without overpowering.
Bright in color and expressive in flavor, it’s designed to cut through richer dishes, add excitement to sandwiches, or bring contrast to composed boards.
This is the accent piece: the one that sparks curiosity and keeps the table dynamic.
They answer the demand for premium, ready-to-serve products that feel generous, fresh, and thoughtfully made. Perfect for mezze tables, deli counters, foodservice, and elevated retail shelves.
More than salads, they are composed antipasti, designed to be shared, styled, and savored.
Every product has a journey. For NEFÉLI Organic Grilled Olives, that journey began with organically grown olives, carefully tended and selected for their natural character — and it recently reached one of the world’s most important food stages.
What sets them apart is simplicity done right. Gently grilled to unlock natural smoky notes, these olives offer warmth, depth, and a refined Mediterranean expression — without overpowering the raw material. It’s a flavor shaped by respect: for the olive, for the process, and for the people who know when less is more.
The product’s recognition at ANUGA is not just about innovation; it’s about intention. About creating organic antipasti that feel honest, contemporary, and relevant to how people eat today, whether shared around a table or discovered on a global shelf.
The Neféli line has always been about creativity and discovery – taking Greece’s finest olives and reimagining them through global inspiration.
The base is unmistakably Greek: plump, juicy olives harvested from sunlit groves. To this, Neféli adds chipotle – smoke-dried jalapeños, prized for their earthy warmth and depth of flavor.
The smokiness of chipotle meets the natural olive tang, enhanced with a chipotle-honey spice blend that layers garlic, herbs, and a touch of honey into the recipe. While the honey is not tasted, it is part of the crafted mix that gives the olives their character.
This union of Greek tradition and global spice inspiration reflects the Neféli philosophy: to celebrate authenticity while embracing bold, unexpected journeys of taste.
🧀 Cheese & Meze Platters: Pair with creamy or aged cheeses to balance the smoky spice and highlight the chipotle-honey seasoning.
🥩 Grilled & Roasted Dishes: Serve with BBQ meats, roasted vegetables, or alongside flame-grilled fish.
🌮 Global Fusion: Fold into tacos, grain bowls, or roasted corn salads for a cross-cultural twist.
🍸 Tapas & Cocktails: Add to smoky cocktails or offer as a bold tapa with fresh bread.
🍕 Creative Cooking: Chop into marinades, sauces, or use as a smoky garnish for flatbreads and pizza.
→ Adventurous food lovers seeking bold, smoky flavors beyond the ordinary.
→ Hosts and chefs wanting to surprise guests with a gourmet conversation starter built on a chipotle-honey spice blend.
→ Retailers and delis offering unique, story-driven specialty foods that highlight innovation within the Neféli line.
Part of the premium Neféli line, these olives showcase how Mediterranean tradition can embrace global inspiration. Crafted with a distinctive chipotle-honey spice blend, they deliver a profile that is bold, smoky, and mildly spicy — a taste that stands out without sweetness.
By uniting Greek olive craftsmanship with the distinct smoky spice of chipotle, Neféli Chipotle Honey Olives embody the brand’s spirit of creativity and discovery, offering an olive that tells a story and elevates every table.
