ANTA almonds: handpicked from ancient almond trees.

These ancient almond varieties are highly aromatic, no comparison to mass-produced almonds!

The almond trees on Kea are grown without plowing, watering or spraying.

ANTA almonds are collected from old fields containing a mixed variety of old almond trees.
This results in almonds of different sizes being harvested. There is also only a small harvest per year.

The Antaconcept Almond Project supports small organic farmers on the Cyclades island of KEA to promote endemic Greek almond varieties.
These have been increasingly replaced in recent years by Californian ones, which are growing larger but require additional water and fertilization.

For everyone who would like 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 Korinthiaki red wine grape variety. The name refers to the place Corinth or 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, because it was the black gold of Greece, which Hellas used to pay off its debts in the 19th century.)

The “black gold” that grows on the vine
Nowadays, the Greek island of Zakynthos is known for its breathtaking natural beauty. But 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 this fruit's monetary value: the Zante currant, it turns out, has had a reputation as a superfood for a thousand years, and modern studies have begun to substantiate traditional beliefs about it “magical” properties of currants. This fruit, also grown in the Peloponnese and known as the raisin of Corinth, was already known in 72 AD when Pliny first described it in writing, and it is said that Christopher Columbus used it on his ships and Hannibal on it carried his elephant to keep her 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 bruises and preserves the integrity of the fruit.

SUN DRIED
According to the old Zakynthos tradition, the currants are usually spread out in the sun on specially prepared threshing floors in August. After 8 days, the grapes are turned and left to dry for a few more days.

TRUNK REMOVAL
The currants are then taken from the field to the processing unit of the Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Zante, where the stalk is removed from the raisin and the raisins are packaged and returned to the farmer's home.

CONSERVATION
ANTA Zante currants are free of preservatives and pesticides: the fruit is frozen and not treated with preservatives and pesticides.
