Our History
|
One blessed morning on the beautifully sunlit island of Andros, a group of American friends relished in what Greece is known for best, its warm hospitality and of course it’s deliciously healthy cuisine. Breakfast was made up of organic whole grains, pasture-raised eggs, feta from the same goats that roam the winding roads of Andros, honey from a local beekeeper, olive oils, jams, and fruits all grown and produced locally on the Island.
As Andreas (originally from Andros, now residing in Chicago, IL) enjoyed the unique tastes of the Island with his friends he got to thinking… After speaking with a few local family producers as well as John the local beekeeper it was decided that this vibrant and healthful produce should be shared abroad to international customers in the United States. It was that sunny morning in Andros that the adventures of Kalas Imports began. |

Honey ProductsKalas honey adds remarkable flavor to your favorite toasted breads, muffins and biscuits, salad dressings and desserts.
The benefits of honey go beyond its great taste. A great natural source of carbohydrates which provide strength and energy to our bodies, honey is known for its effectiveness in instantly boosting the performance, endurance and reduce muscle fatigue of athletes. Its natural sugars play an important role in preventing fatigue during exercise. The glucose in honey is absorbed by the body quickly and gives an immediate energy boost, while the fructose is absorbed more slowly providing sustained energy. It is known that honey has also been found to keep levels of blood sugar fairly constant compared to other types of sugar. |

Olive ProductsOur company offers only the finest extra virgin olive oil in the US market.
Olive oil, rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, is a major component of the Mediterranean diet. Populations from that region have longer life expectancy and lower risks of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke compared with North Americans and Northern Europeans. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are considered a healthy dietary fat, as opposed to saturated fats and trans fats. |
