For those who want to know more: The Zante currant is not a raisin; it is a small, jewel-like red grape that grows in a tiny bunch that fits in the palm of your hand. The fresh berries themselves are delicious, a tiny, juicy burst of aromatic pulp. Zante currants come from the red wine grape variety Korinthiaki. The name refers to the town of Corinth, or rather, the Ionian island of Zakynthos (it is called Zante in Italian). The black grape is small and ideal for cooking, for example, in muesli, couscous, cookies, and Christmas stollen. (In this tunnel, it was the original raisin, for it was the Black Gold of Greece, with which Hellas paid off its debts in the 19th century.) The "Black Gold" That Grows on the Vine Today, the Greek island of Zakynthos is known for its stunning natural beauty. Yet there was a time when the island was famous for its main export: the "black gold," the Zante grape. For centuries, and until about a decade ago, this fruit could not be grown outside certain areas of Greece, and Zakynthos produced a large percentage of the world's raisins. The Hellenic statesman Xenophon Zolotas said that raisins are to Hellas what coffee is to Brazil. But the term "Black Gold" refers to something more than the monetary value of this fruit: The Zante currant, it turns out, has had a reputation as a superfood for a thousand years, and modern studies have begun to substantiate the traditional belief in the currant's "magical" properties. Also grown in the Peloponnese and known as the Raisin of Corinth, this fruit was already known in 72 AD when Pliny first wrote about it, and it is said that Christopher Columbus carried it on his ships and Hannibal on his elephants to keep their soldiers healthy. ANTA's Zante currants are pesticide-free and completely organic. Our current supplier, Panagiotis Kambitsis-Xirogiannopoulos, is a pioneer, the very first commercial organic farmer on Zakynthos. HAND-PICKED Harvesting the currants by hand prevents bruising and preserves the integrity of the fruit. SUN-DRIED Following ancient Zakynthian tradition, currants are usually spread out in the sun on specially prepared threshing floors in August. After 8 days, the bunches are turned and left to dry for a few more days. STEM REMOVAL The currants are then transported from the field to the processing unit of the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Zante, where the stem is removed from the raisin, and the raisins are packaged and returned to the farmer's home. PRESERVATION ANTA Zante currants are free of preservatives and pesticides: The fruit is frozen and not treated with preservatives or pesticides.
