Greece is primarily considered as a fruit producing country. Fruit should be included in the daily diet to help the body stay fit and healthy. It is nature’s wonderful medicine with unique nutrition packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and many phytonutrients. The CHB Group uses the latest technology and machinery to processes fruits from Greek soil. We use fruit such as oranges, peaches, apples, apricots, pears, lemons, grapes, kiwis, cherries, pomegranates, plums, grapefruits, carrots and many more, while maintaining the nutrients and flavours intact. Both production plants that the CHB Group owns, Christodoulou Bros S.A. and Vitom S.A., are located right in the heart of the fruit production, giving a significant advantage to the company, helping it to have quick access to the fruit. The process of harvesting and juicing is done within the shortest time period, to retain the characteristics of each fruit and guarantee the freshness of the products produced.
