Nature Blessed created the Mediterranean Flavors series, the first olive oil dressing to highlight all the aromas and flavors of Greek cuisine.
The Mediterranean diet owes its particularity to a combination of extra virgin olive oil with specific herbs and spices. For that reason, we created the Mediterranean Flavors series in collaboration with acclaimed chefs and experienced food technologists. These Mediterranean Flavors serve as an ideal supplement to many recipes, as their mixture of olive oil and spices is perfectly balanced.
Perfect for salads and cooked dishes. Especially good with meat as a marinade before grilling or baking, a distinctive addition during the last stage of cooking, or drizzled on freshly baked meat for the ultimate gourmet touch.

Nature Blessed is a family business in Thessaloniki that standardizes, trades and exports olive oil. They aim for consistently high quality products. Their love for olive oil and their deep knowledge of olive oil production techniques, along with their cooperation with exceptional olive farmers who share their values, enable them to offer the valuable nectar they produce from the fruits of the fertile Greek soil!
The unique and distinct flavor of their olive oil with its fruity and spicy taste is a result not only of one, but many different olive varieties. They opt for producers from Macedonia, Northern Greece, who cultivate various olive varieties in their groves (Chalkidikis, Amfississ, Koroneiki). During harvest the fruit are mixed together and are sent for oleification, through which they offer them a particularly flavored olive oil which differs from all the rest. A natural blend.
These products offer a unique tasting experience. They offer only the best, always with respect for human beings and the environment.
Their zealous devotion to high-quality olive oil is a lifetime commitment. They are motivated by their mission to spread the word about good health and disease prevention through the consumption of our blessed treasure: Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
The Nymph of Thermaikos, the City of St. Demetrius! Those are two of the names by which Thessaloniki is known and hailed by. Tightly held in the embrace of the Gulf of Thermaikos, Thessaloniki extends from the coast all the way back to the nearby foothills of Hortiatis Mountain. It has the second largest population in Greece and is located in Central Macedonia. Ever since its foundation by Kassandros some 2,300 years ago, Thessaloniki flourished as a Hellenistic city and continued to be prominent under Ottoman rule, taking advantage of its strategic location. A cross-cultural melting pot, Thessaloniki was given its name by Kassandros in 315 BC in honor of the sister of Alexander the Great. Its steady growth began under Roman rule when the Romans built Egnatia Way, an ambitious project, which linked Thessaloniki with Constantinople and Rome. During Byzantine times, Thessaloniki rose to further prominence and acquired the title “Symvasilevousa”, the Co-Reigning City, ruling in tandem with Constantinople. It came under Turkish rule in 1430 and was liberated in 1912.
Today, Thessaloniki is a contemporary, cosmopolitan city with districts and sights cloaked with the aura of its erstwhile glory that beckon to visitors in pursuit of authenticity to make them their own. The White Tower (part of the city’s old fortifications), Ano Poli, a district where Macedonian and Balkan architectures predominate, the Rotonda, the squares and Byzantine churches are but some of the Thessaloniki’s points of interest. It’s a city whose beauty takes your breath away whether you’re after plain sightseeing or seeking inviting corners where the past meets the present. It is a city that affords visitors the perfect opportunity to have fun, enjoy the premium services offered by traditional Greek hospitality, and leave their heart at the feet of Macedonian gastronomy.
Fusion, fragrant, delicious are but a few of the adjectives that could be attributed to the cuisine of Thessaloniki, which proudly boasts a dizzying array of mouthwatering dishes and pastries. Each dish, each pastry is a tribute of taste and flavor to the memory of the people this hospitable city took into its embrace, people from diverse cultures, religions, customs, and traditions. Thessaloniki is where Byzantine cuisine came together with Jewish cuisine, where the Middle Eastern and Turkish culinary traditions wedded local cuisine where all melded together, converting into a single, rich culinary tapestry of creative cooking: the cuisine that established Thessaloniki as the capital of taste or, as the locals call it, “kibar” cuisine, a Turkish word that means “lavishly generous and great-hearted”. No visitor ever feels left out in Thessaloniki. The city scoops you up and sings you songs of natural beauty, of tradition comfortable with the present, of spectacular entertainment and gourmet experiences. Thessaloniki: the city of feeling good and having a good time, a city that never sleeps!
