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.

Meet medbest at SIAL Paris 2026

17–21 October 2026
Hall 1 – Stand 1 E109

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.

Built for International Markets

Behind every product is the ability to develop, test, produce and deliver it consistently.

medbest combines in-house Innovation & Product Development, Quality Assurance, production expertise, packaging development and dedicated export operations to support both established products and new concepts.

Our experience across more than 30 international markets allows us to adapt to different consumer preferences, retail environments and commercial needs.

Alongside our branded portfolio, we also work with international partners on tailored product development and selected private label projects, adapting recipes, formats and packaging to specific market needs where required.

Quality at the Core

Throughout our 30-year journey, quality has remained the foundation behind every market, product and partnership.

Our operations are supported by:

IFS-certified production standards
Advanced quality control systems
Non-GMO ingredients
Dedicated Quality Assurance
In-house Innovation & Product Development
Experienced export operations

This commitment extends beyond product quality to the way we operate, reflected in our EcoVadis Silver sustainability rating, placing medbest among the Top 15% of assessed companies.

Our philosophy remains:
Quality is our signature. Great flavors, our passion.

Come See Us at SIAL

SIAL brings together different markets, food cultures and ideas about what comes next.

NEFÉLI Returns Home: A New Chapter Begins in Greece

Medbest — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 13:57:45 +0000

After more than three decades of international success, NEFÉLI begins a new chapter — at home. For the first time since its creation in 1998, the award-winning Mediterranean brand is officially available in Greece.

Inspired 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.

Today, NEFÉLI returns to its country of origin through a strategic partnership with Karoulias / IMA, one of Greece’s most established and respected distribution companies. This collaboration marks an important milestone for the brand, reconnecting it with the market

A Mediterranean Brand with Global Recognition

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.

The NEFÉLI Selection Now Available in Greece

Greek consumers can now discover a curated selection of NEFÉLI products, including:

Classic Greek olives, celebrating timeless Mediterranean flavors
Halkidiki olives, stuffed with feta, sundried tomato, and blue cheese
Innovative specialty recipes, such as Mojito Olives, Mandarin Spritz Olives, French Curry Olives, and Sweet Olive Mix

Each product is designed to balance tradition with creativity, offering familiar tastes alongside unexpected flavor experiences.

A Meaningful Homecoming

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.”

NEFÉLI’s arrival in Greece is more than a market launch — it is a homecoming. A new chapter begins, inviting Greek consumers to experience a brand that traveled the world and now returns with stories, flavors, and a renewed connection to its roots.

Nefeli Salads: Where Antipasti Become a Story on the Table

Medbest — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 20:55:00 +0000

In the Mediterranean, salads are never an afterthought.

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.

The Collection

Greek Olive Bruschetta

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.

Farmer’s Olive Salad

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.

Giardiniera

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.

A New Way to Serve Mediterranean Flavor

Neféli Salads reflect how people eat today: informally, visually, and socially.

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.

Because at the Neféli table, flavor is never rushed, and every dish has a story to tell.

From the Groves to Global Recognition: NEFÉLI Organic Grilled Olives at ANUGA 2025

Medbest — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 13:23:38 +0000

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.

At ANUGA, the global meeting point for food innovation, NEFÉLI Organic Grilled Olives were selected for the ANUGA Taste Innovation Show, a curated showcase celebrating products that bring something truly distinctive to the table.

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.

A Greek Classic, Reinvented – NEFÉLI Halkidiki Olives Stuffed with Feta Cheese

Medbest — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 10:04:50 +0000

Few products combine Greek authenticity, culinary versatility, and premium appeal as effortlessly as the NEFÉLI Halkidiki olives stuffed with feta cheese — an award-winning delicacy now gaining international recognition for both its consumer-loved flavor and professional-grade performance.

From Greece, With Origin & Purpose

Sourced from the sun-drenched groves of Halkidiki, Northern Greece, these plump green olives are naturally rich in flavor and prized for their firm texture and large size — perfect for stuffing.

NEFÉLI uses only carefully selected olives, preserving their vibrant green hue and fresh briny snap.

Each olive is stuffed with authentic Greek feta cheese, certified PDO and made exclusively in Greece using traditional methods and local sheep’s and goat’s milk.

This product is a celebration of Greek origin, craftsmanship, and culinary harmony — with global appeal.
