Product Description
Product Description
The pita that makes the difference — shipped fresh from Greece, never frozen.
Produced by Elviart, a Greek bakery with roots going back to 1952, these classic Greek pita rounds are made in Aspropyrgos and shipped fresh — never frozen at any stage of production or delivery. Each 16 cm round has the soft, slightly chewy texture that Greek pita is known for: the kind that warms in minutes, folds without cracking, and fills the kitchen with the scent of fresh bread. The recipe is clean and straightforward: wheat flour, fresh yeast, and a touch of sunflower oil. No unnecessary additives, no industrial shortcuts.
The characteristic cross-hatched surface is not decorative — it holds heat and distributes it evenly when you warm the pita in a dry pan or on a grill, which takes about 60 seconds per side. The result is a pita that is soft at the centre, lightly textured at the edges, and flexible enough for wrapping without tearing. It is noticeably different from the frozen pitas available in most European supermarkets, and the reviews below reflect that.
With 8.7g of protein per 100g and less than 3g of fat, this pita is a genuinely versatile everyday bread — lighter than most alternatives, more filling than it looks, and easy to use across a wide range of meals without needing any preparation beyond warming.
Fresh delivery, no cold chain — this is how good shelf life works.
This pita is baked in Greece and shipped via standard ground delivery across Europe — no refrigeration, no cold chain, no airfreight. It arrives at your door in the same condition it left the bakery, because Elviart's production process gives each batch a shelf life of 20–22 days from the baking date. With a typical transit time of around 5 days, you receive it with at least two weeks of useful life ahead of you.
- Ships at room temperature via standard ground courier — no cold chain required.
- Arrives with at least 14 days of shelf life remaining from the delivery date.
- Freeze before the best-before date for up to 12 months — nothing is wasted.
Use it for:
- Classic souvlaki wraps — gyros, chicken souvlaki, pork — with tzatziki, tomato, onion, and fresh herbs
- Meze and dip spreads — tzatziki, hummus, taramosalata, melitzanosalata — torn or cut into wedges
- BBQ and grilling — warmed directly on the grill and served alongside grilled meats or vegetables
- Everyday bread alternative — with cheese, olive oil and oregano, feta and olives, or simply warm from the pan
- Mini pita pizzas — a reliable format for quick meals and informal entertaining
"From my travels to Greece, I knew the filled 'Greek pita' as street food, and it was love at first bite. All these years later, I was looking for this typical pita bread for home and couldn't find it. But now I've finally found it here! The original, filled with tzatziki, gyros, tomatoes, onions, and fresh parsley. Simply a dream for connoisseurs." — Roman R., ★★★★★
"I absolutely love this pita bread. After you warm it up in a pan with a little olive oil, it's ready to rock! Add a little feta or olives to it, and you'll be in paradise!" — Salvatore B., ★★★★★
Elviart has been making Greek pita in Greece since 1952. This is the version your supermarket cannot give you.
Nutritional Components
Nutritional Components
Pita the way it should be made: fresh dough, clean ingredients, shipped straight from Greece.
This is not a preserved or industrially processed product. Elviart pita is baked weekly and shipped fresh, which means the nutritional profile you see below reflects a real bread — not a reconstituted frozen product. With 8.7g of protein per 100g and under 3g of fat, it sits comfortably alongside the lighter end of everyday bread alternatives while remaining genuinely filling.
Why this pita is worth understanding nutritionally:
- Protein: 8.7g per 100g — meaningful for a flatbread, and relevant if you are using pita as a base for protein-rich fillings like grilled meat, legume dips, or feta.
- Low fat: 2.8g per 100g total, with only 0.5g saturated fat — lower than most commercial breads and wraps.
- Clean ingredients: no artificial flavourings or colourings. Stabilisers (xanthan gum, guar gum) and preservatives (calcium propionate, sorbic acid) are standard for fresh bakery products with extended shelf life — they are what make a 20–22 day shelf life from baking possible, which is precisely why this pita can travel across Europe by ground and arrive at your door still fresh, without refrigeration or freezing.
- Fibre: 2.4g per 100g — modest but present, in line with a standard wheat flatbread.
- Versatility: the nutritional profile supports use as an everyday bread, a wrap, or a base for both savoury and light meals across different dietary contexts.

Useful Information
Storage guide: fresh pita, no cold chain needed.
This pita is baked in Greece and travels to you via standard ground delivery — no refrigeration required at any stage. The production shelf life of 20–22 days from baking absorbs the transit time comfortably, leaving you with at least two weeks from delivery. Keep it at room temperature, use what you need, and freeze the rest before the best-before date.
How to store it correctly:
- At room temperature: keep in the sealed original packaging until the best-before date. No refrigeration required before or after delivery.
- After opening: reseal or transfer to an airtight bag. Consume within 2–3 days for the best texture.
- Freezing: freeze before the best-before date. Keeps well for up to 12 months. Defrost at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or warm directly from frozen in a pan or oven.
Freshness timeline:
- Sealed, at room temperature: at least 14 days from delivery date
- Opened, in the fridge: best within 2–3 days
- Frozen (before best-before date): up to 12 months
How to warm it:
- Dry pan (recommended): 60 seconds per side on a medium-hot pan — no oil needed. The cross-hatched surface toasts lightly, and the centre stays soft.
- Grill or BBQ: 30–45 seconds per side directly on the grill.
- Oven: wrap 2–3 pitas in foil and heat at 180°C for 5–6 minutes. Good for warming several at once.
