ODYSSEY
First reported at 800 Bc. in Homer’s Odyssey adventures. This was the first mythical step of Corinthian currants, to accompany Odysseys during his adventures to conquer Troy and return to Ithaca. But the path of Currants was destined to be far longer. Aristoteles, Plato, Herodotus, all praised the taste and the high energy of this super-fruit, which was mainly used as a natural sweetener and in expeditions or long travels.
HANNIBAL
A plethora of great explorers and conquers have designated the usefulness and superiority of Black Corinthian currants. Hannibal, the great general of ancient Carthage, supplied many tons before crossing the Alpes. The reasons behind his selection is the durability of currants and the high energy levels that increase endurance. Research today has proved that indeed Black Corinthian currants are ideal for sustaining muscle health and reduce fatigue, while preserving the level of oxygen in blood. We guess that Hannibal did not have that knowledge, but especially for his venture through Alpes, where the oxygen levels in blood and energy drop, he did the best choice. Fortune favors the brave!

Another brave and wise explorer was Christopher Columbus. During his trip to discover America he picked only one fruit in his cargo hold. The Greek black gold, currants. His sailors where the only to survive scurvy in contrast to the other unlucky sailors of the epoch, including the ones of Marco Polo. The high vitamin, fiber, antioxidant content and of course the high durability of Currants, provided the advantage.
QUEEN ELIZABETH A
Currants continued to play a significant role through the years. Queen Elizabeth A, that included cakes with Black Corinthian raisins in her diet, supported the imports of Currants in England. Since then started the golden era of Greek black gold, an era that started fading after 19th century.
Today we have the research, we have the knowledge and the history. Clinical research has proved that Black Corinthian Currants is a super-fruit with a strong identity. It is the super-fruit of heroes, travelers and explorers...
