For those who want to know more:

The Zante currant isn't a raisin; it's 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's called Zante in Italian).
The black grape is small and ideal for cooking, for example, in muesli, couscous, cookies, and Christmas stollen. (In this stollen, it was the original raisin, as 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 of certain areas of Greece, and Zakynthos produced a large percentage of the world's raisins. The Hellenic statesman Xenophon Zolotas said that raisins were to Greece what coffee was 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 the traditional belief in its "magical" properties. Also grown in the Peloponnese and known as the raisin of Corinth, this fruit was known as early as 72 AD, when Pliny first described it in writing, 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.
HANDPICKED
Harvesting currants by hand prevents bruising and preserves the integrity of the fruit.
SUN-DRIED
According to ancient Zakynthian tradition, currants are usually spread out in the sun on specially prepared threshing floors in August. After eight days, the grapes are turned and left to dry for a few more days.
STEM REMOVAL
The currants are then taken 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.
CONSERVATION
ANTA Zante currants are free from preservatives and pesticides: the fruit is frozen and not treated with preservatives or pesticides.

ANTA almonds: hand-picked 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 harvested from old fields containing a mixed variety of old almond trees.
This results in almonds of varying sizes being harvested, and there is only a small harvest per year.
The Antaconcept Almond Project supports small organic farmers on the Cycladic island of Kea to promote endemic Greek almond varieties.
In recent years, these have increasingly been replaced by Californian varieties, which grow larger but require additional water and fertilization.
