Meet Odysea

Meet Odysea

At Bonobono, we are delighted to highlight Odysea, a brand that embodies the essence of slow food, serving as a remedy to the fast-paced nature of modern life.

Founded by Panos Manuelides in 1991, Odysea began its journey with a humble stall on Portobello Road, where he introduced the UK to the exquisite flavours of Greek olives. This initial success revealed a gap in the market for authentic Greek products, leading to the establishment of Odysea.

Odysea's mission is to be the premier destination for high-quality Greek and Mediterranean foods, underpinned by a deep knowledge of Greek cuisine. The team at Odysea has tirelessly scoured Greece to discover exceptional local producers, ensuring that each product reflects the highest standards of quality and authenticity, free from the compromises often associated with mass production.

Over the past three decades, Odysea has expanded its award-winning range to include both traditional and contemporary flavours, all inspired by the rich culinary heritage of Greece and the Mediterranean. Their extensive offerings cater to a diverse clientele, from renowned restaurants and gastro-pubs to independent retailers and food halls.

At the heart of Odysea's philosophy is the belief that food should bring people together, fostering connections and creating cherished memories. Each product has its own unique story, crafted with care and dedication.

Odysea prides itself on cultivating strong relationships with its producers and customers alike, nurturing long-term partnerships that guarantee unparalleled quality and authenticity. At Bonobono, we are proud to showcase Odysea’s commitment to delivering exceptional Mediterranean flavours, making their products a delightful addition to any plant-based culinary experience.
