Premium Vostizza Currants

We supply authentic Vostizza currants, widely regarded as one of the highest quality currant varieties available. These are grown in the high mountain region of Aeghion in northern Greece and are known for their intense flavour, small berry size and excellent baking performance.

Vostizza currants are particularly valued in bakery applications such as hot cross buns, fruit cakes and traditional confectionery where consistent size and strong flavour are essential.

What Are Currants?

Currants are naturally dried black seedless grapes derived from the Corinth grape variety. The name is believed to originate from the ancient city of Corinth, which has long been associated with their production.

Greece remains the principal producer of currants, with quality determined largely by growing region and altitude. These environmental differences influence flavour concentration, size and texture.

Unlike larger dried fruits, currants are valued for their small size and intense taste, making them ideal for baking where even distribution throughout the product is important.

Regional Currant Grades

Greek currants are classified by origin and growing area, each offering distinct characteristics:

  • Vostizza currants from the high mountain region of Aeghion in the north
  • Gulf currants from the hills around the Gulf of Corinth
  • Zante currants from the Ionian island of Zakynthos
  • Provincial currants from lower regions such as Patras, Pyrgos and Kalamata

Each origin delivers subtle differences in flavour and size, allowing manufacturers to choose the most suitable grade for their application.

Sizes and Commercial Grading

Currants are carefully graded based on size and intended use. Smaller fruit is often preferred in industrial baking as it distributes evenly throughout doughs and batters, while larger grades may be used for retail or wholesale packing.

We supply a full range of commercial grades including:

  • Greek Provincial currants
  • Medium currants
  • Blended currants
  • Small currants
  • Greek Vostizza currants
  • South African currants
  • Australian currants

These options ensure flexibility for both large scale production and specialist product development.
