About us

Despite appearing under a new brand-name, our seafood delicacies represent the culmination of a long- standing family tradition that dates back to 1950 in Volos when Efstathios Karagounis established the company. Today , our proud “catch” of cured and smoked products, and fish fillets, is known as Hellas Meze; delicacies produced according to the highest taste and quality specifications.

More than 70 years after the establishment of our first processing facility in Volos, our love for our homeland and our passion for authentic Greek flavours remain. We are currently generating know-how and expanding our catalogue within an area of 4,000 m2 cutting edge facilities that operate according to accurate quality assurance systems and food safety certifications. Naturally, the quality characteristics of our products are non-negotiable: we strictly insist on curing and smoking fresh fish and molluscs, without preservatives, which are filleted by hand. Hellas Meze is the name we have given to the treasures of the sea brought to your table, travelling around the world unchanged through time.
