medbest at SIAL Paris 2026: 30 Years of Mediterranean Food, Made to Travel

From Greece to the world — and this October, to Paris

This October, medbest returns to SIAL Paris, bringing three decades of Mediterranean food expertise, product development and international market experience to one of the world’s leading food exhibitions.

2026 is a milestone year for us.

For 30 years, we have been taking Mediterranean flavors beyond borders — developing products that combine authenticity with the needs of modern retail, food service and international consumers.

Today, medbest products travel to more than 30 countries worldwide.

And from 17–21 October, our next meeting point is Paris.

30 Years. One Mediterranean Point of View.

Markets change. Tastes evolve. Categories move forward.

Our starting point remains the same: Mediterranean food, approached with quality, curiosity and commercial understanding.

From Greek olives and antipasti to spreads, Mediterranean specialties and extra virgin olive oil, our portfolio reflects both where we come from and where food culture is going next.

That means staying true to familiar ingredients and traditions, while also developing new combinations, formats and eating occasions for today’s international markets.

Over the years, this international journey has also been consistently recognized through the Greek Exports Awards, where medbest has received distinctions year after year for its export performance and innovation.

Innovation Starts with Curiosity

At medbest, innovation often begins with one simple question:

What else could this become?

That thinking has led to concepts that bring together Mediterranean ingredients with contemporary taste profiles, global inspiration and new usage occasions.

From fruit-infused and cocktail-inspired olives to globally influenced marinades and specialty spreads, our focus is not innovation for novelty’s sake.

It is innovation designed to create relevance, differentiation and commercial value.

NEFÉLI: Mediterranean Roots. Contemporary Expression

NEFÉLI brings a contemporary perspective to Mediterranean food through a diverse portfolio of olives, antipasti, spreads, olive oils and Mediterranean specialties.

Across categories, the same philosophy applies: familiar Mediterranean ingredients, carefully developed to combine quality, versatility and relevance for today’s eating occasions.

From everyday Mediterranean staples to more distinctive propositions, NEFÉLI is designed to offer both recognition and discovery — products that feel rooted in the Mediterranean, while responding to evolving tastes, formats and consumption habits.

Where Innovation Becomes Most Visible

One of the clearest expressions of this approach can be found in the olive category. Here, NEFÉLI moves beyond traditional flavor profiles to explore unexpected pairings, international inspiration and new occasions for consumption.

▪Sweet Stories combines premium olives with fruit, spice and delicate sweetness, creating concepts for grazing, cheese pairings and elevated snacking.

▪Journeys takes inspiration from international cuisines, with flavor profiles such as Moroccan Spice, Chipotle Honey and French Curry.

▪Marinades reinterpret familiar Mediterranean combinations through herbs, citrus, garlic and carefully balanced seasoning.

This approach has also earned international recognition, with NEFÉLI products receiving Gold, Platinum and Silver distinctions in international taste competitions across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

These ranges reflect some of the strongest expressions of the broader NEFÉLI philosophy.

Across olives, antipasti, spreads, olive oils and Mediterranean specialties, the objective remains the same: to respect Mediterranean roots while continuously finding new ways to make them relevant.
