About Cypressa
Cypressa is a British Mediterranean food brand celebrating 60 years of bringing authentic sun-kissed flavours to UK kitchens. The story began in 1951 when three Katsouris brothers started selling locally-sourced olives, olive oil, and pulses at markets in Cyprus, quickly earning a reputation for quality produce. By 1964, after moving to the UK, the brothers had evolved their business into Cypressa, importing vibrant Mediterranean produce at a time when many of these foods were still unknown to British consumers. Three generations of the Katsouris family established the brand as the name synonymous with authentically sourced Mediterranean foods, starting in the specialist ethnic stores and markets of North London. Today, Cypressa has become a pioneer in establishing and growing the Mediterranean category in UK retail. The brand is stocked in Tesco, Co-op, Asda, Waitrose, Morrisons, and WHSmith, bringing Greek and Cypriot specialities to mainstream shoppers nationwide. The olive range spans robust Kalamata, buttery Nocellara, and fruity Manzanilla varieties, alongside creative mixes, marinades, and hand-stuffed options. Premium tahini is made from the finest Ethiopian and Sudanese sesame seeds, milled traditionally by long-established Greek partners using the classic "clash" process and granite stone grinding. Beyond these signature products, Cypressa offers Cypriot halloumi, Greek feta, olive oils and vinegars, capers, vine leaves, tapenades, pastes, and other Mediterranean cupboard essentials. The brand is committed to quality, sourcing ingredients from trusted producers across Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, and the wider Mediterranean region.
