Gaea Products, Cat Cora Align To Promote Greek Culinary Cuisine

Athens, Greece – November 18, 2010 — According to a new study by CNN, Greek cuisine is considered to be the healthiest of all ethnic cuisines, in addition to one of the most flavorful. In 2011, Gaea Products S.A., an award-winning producer of authentic Greek products and famed chef Cat Cora will partner on a new venture using Gaea olive oils, vinegar, tapenades, cooking sauces and spices to promote Greek culinary culture and lifestyle to store shelves across the U.S.

Gaea Products was created in 1995 by Aris Kefalogiannis to educate consumers on the health benefits and fulfilling lifestyle of this native Mediterranean diet and Meze way of eating. While Gaea continues to grow in the U.S. in the specialty foods segment, reaching mainstream consumers has been more of a challenge. Meanwhile, Cat Cora becomes the first (and only) female Iron Chef in America, and also has a strong vision of educating consumers on a healthy Mediterranean diet which reflects her family heritage, while being environmentally friendly. Kefalogiannis and Cora crossed paths and quickly realized that they share similar goals and decided to forge an alliance, which will debut in early 2011 with a line of Greek cooking products.

Gaea Products, the makers of all-natural, authentic olive oils, olives, tapenades, cooking sauces, and organic products, are known for outstanding quality and pure Greek Mediterranean flavors throughout the entire line of products. Gaea’s new Olive Snack Packs offer added enjoyment and convenience for any occasion. Rich with flavor and health boosting antioxidants; Gaea’s Snack Pack Olives are the perfect choice for a healthy snack as they are a great source of Vitamin E and are recognized for their healthy, anti-inflammatory properties. Sourced from the finest olive groves in Greece, Gaea olives undergo careful quality control, and natural treatment to guarantee exceptional and irresistible quality. In 2009, Gaea became Carbon Neutral with the launch of their green ‘rev-oil-ution’ whereby the impact of their production processes was offset with environmental initiatives.
