Greek Exporters

Its good to see the history of cured meat unfolded in parallel with your companys course. NIKAS has established itself as a synonym for cured meat and has created a history of its own. The history of cured meat began 2,500 years ago and has chronicled an endless variety of tastes. Cured meat has always been a principle food of the Greek diet which includes kavourmas from Evros, porchetta from Evritania, syglino from Mani, lountza from the Cyclades and apaki from Crete. Along with ham, sausages, bacon and dry salami, the Greek diet endorses several tasteful challenges produced with imagination, creativity and meraki, the love and soul of many generations. The need to preserve meat has led to the idea of meat processing, which we now call curing. In 1966, NIKAS launched the curing process. Since then the companys goal is to always feel and anticipate the needs and preferences of the Greek consumer.

NIKAS was founded in 1966 as a point of departure for one mans vision to create unique cured meat products based on GOOD quality and top safety. Today, after more than 50 years, the company is still creating and offering not only quality but also safe cold meat products.
