Foods of the Sun In the 1950s, three brothers from the Katsouris family started exporting the warm and vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean. Their specialist product range expanded through sourcing from like-minded, quality producers and growers. By 1964, the brothers' range of products had evolved into Cypressa - a name that has since become synonymous with authentically sourced foods. Today, after three generations, Cypressa continues this relationship with independent producers in our relentless search for the best foods and flavours from across the Mediterranean and beyond.
