Producer’s Background:

Divina was founded in 1996 as the signature brand of FOODMatch, the Mediterranean specialty-food producer and importer established by Phil Meldrum. Inspired by the food traditions and olive groves of Greece, the company built relationships with farming and production partners to bring regional ingredients to a wider audience. Its collection of olives, preserved vegetables and antipasti emphasizes traceability and practical preparations for home kitchens, restaurants and shared tables.

Serving & Storage Suggestions:

Serve whole alongside Greek salads, vegetable kebabs, deli sandwiches or a platter of feta, olives and pita. Remove the stems before slicing into pasta salads, wraps or chopped vegetable toppings. Their tang also complements hummus, grilled chicken and creamy cheeses. Store unopened according to the jar’s instructions and best-before date. After opening, refrigerate, keep the peppers submerged in their brine and use clean utensils to remove portions; Divina recommends enjoying opened products within two to three weeks.
