Bright, bold, and incredibly refreshing — this Nefeli Olive & Watermelon Salad brings together the sweetness of juicy watermelon with the briny depth of our signature Nefeli Green Olives with Cranberries and Nefeli Greek Feta cheese PDO. Finished with fresh mint, and a drizzle of Nefeli PDO Kalamata extra virgin olive oil and a touch of Nefeli Balsamic cream with fig, it’s the perfect warm-weather starter or side.
🧀 Cheese
Pair with aged Manchego, creamy goat cheese, or smoked gouda. Their smoky notes enhance robust cheeses while balancing creamier textures with earthy depth.
🥩 Charcuterie
Ideal alongside coppa, prosciutto, or smoked turkey. The grilled aroma adds warmth and complexity to cured meats without overpowering them.
🍷 Wine
A natural match for bold reds like Syrah or Agiorgitiko, and also beautiful with an oaked Chardonnay. The grilled notes bring out savory elements and highlight wine’s texture.
🍺 Beer
Try with amber ales, smoked lagers, or Belgian-style saisons. Their maltiness resonates with the olives’ charred richness.

🌟 Scatter over flatbreads or pizzas with feta and red onion

At the heart of Almond Bliss are premium Halkidiki olives, celebrated among Greek olives for their large size, meaty texture, and rich briny taste. These hand-selected olives are carefully pitted and generously filled with whole, crunchy almonds—creating a satisfying contrast of textures in every bite.
These olives are gently marinated in a delicately sweet, aromatic brine infused with black raisins, orange peel, and a warm blend of cinnamon and clove. This sweet-savory harmony brings depth, nuance, and an irresistible complexity to each olive—rich, slightly spiced, and refreshingly unique.
Whether you’re setting a refined table, curating a charcuterie spread, or just indulging in a luxurious snack, Almond Bliss is your invitation to experience the Mediterranean like never before.
