Mediterra nutrition bars make Canadian debut

Award-winning Mediterra (www.MediterraNutrition.com), the first company to introduce truly savoury flavoured nutrition bars that contain healthful ingredients such as sun-dried tomatoes, olives and basil, will be available throughout Canada at select Loblaws, Atlantic Superstores, Dominion, Zehrs, and Provigo supermarkets.

'With distribution in Canada, Mediterra is truly a North American brand,' says Mediterra Founder Telemaque Lavidas. 'The growth we've made in less than one year and the feedback from retailers, consumers and industry insiders unanimously confirms that Mediterra is the next generation of nutrition bars.'

Inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, considered by experts to be one of the healthiest lifestyles in the world, Mediterra bars offer six new unique flavours that feature various fruits, vegetables, seeds and grains, providing distinct options for different snacking occasions throughout the day.

The six all-natural, non-GMO and gluten-free bar flavours come in three specific varieties that provide ancient nutrition in a modern and convenient way:

The First Ever 'Savoury Bars' are rich in vegetable content, but low in calories, sodium and sugar, and contain protein-rich pea crisps and a touch of olive oil. They are Kosher certified and dairy free. Flavours include Tomato/Basil/Capers and Olive/Walnut/Chives.

Sesame Honey Energy Bars: Traditionally known as 'Pasteli,' these bars are dairy free and contain only a few ingredients, including roasted sesame seeds, Greek honey, pistachios from Aegina Island or orange peel, respectively. Flavours include Sesame Seed/Pistachio/Greek Honey and Sesame Seed/Orange/Greek Honey.

Yoghurt and Oat Bars: Bottom covered with yoghurt-style coating, the bars also feature fig paste, sunflower seeds and raisins. Flavours include Yoghurt/Oat/Cherry Pistachio and Yoghurt/Oat/Apricot Pistachio.
