From Greece to Your Table: The Elco Foods Story

Since 1965, the Kotis family has been bringing the authentic flavours of the Mediterranean to Australia. What began as a humble effort to supply European migrants with the foods they missed from home has grown into Elco Foods — one of the nation’s most trusted importers and distributors of premium Greek and Mediterranean products. Today, Elco proudly delivers iconic brands such as Molon Lave Olive Oil, Greece’s #1 olive oil, Dodoni Feta, the world leader in authentic Greek feta, Nisi double-strained Greek yoghurt, Filosophy Pastry, Misko Pasta, Attiki Honey, Loumidis Coffee, Maffra Cheese Co., and Greek at Home cooking sauces.

For nearly five years, Elco Foods has also been a valued partner of Greek Plateia, supporting our mission to bring Greek culture, flavours and stories to Australians nationwide. Through this partnership, our community has been able to discover, taste and celebrate the products that define Greek households — whether you grew up in Greece or simply fell in love with its cuisine.

Elco’s hero products speak for themselves. Dodoni Feta, made from pasteurised sheep and goat’s milk from the pure grasslands of Epirus, remains unmatched in taste and authenticity. Nisi’s double-strained Greek yoghurt offers unmatched creaminess and high protein for cooking, desserts or everyday indulgence. Filosophy’s authentic pastries, Misko’s market-leading Greek pasta, and the comforting aroma of Loumidis Coffee complete a lineup that has become a staple across Australian homes.

What makes Elco truly stand out is not just its brands, but its commitment to nurturing them — building category leaders through product development, trade marketing and nationwide promotion. Their products are stocked at Coles, Woolworths, Costco, and countless Mediterranean delis across Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and beyond.

So whether you're restocking your weekly essentials or preparing a festive Greek feast, reach for your favourites at a local Mediterranean deli near you — and taste the flavours that bring our community together.
