COMPANY HISTORY

WHO IS KEFI TREATS?

Kefi Treats’ founders are two sisters who grew up loving fruit and treats equally. We really did eat an apple a day. Fresh fruit from the green grocers, direct from the Mother Nature’s orchard, but every now and then were given a treat. An apple of ruby red toffee: sticky and chewy, a jaw-busting delight with a core of marbled fruit, sweet, delicious and so so juicy.

This was magic food, from a fairy’s recipe book. We were kids and we were spellbound.

Now that we’re a little older we’ve taken those treasured childhood moments and covered them in handmade silky caramel and smooth chocolate. A bit more decadent but a bit more grown up too.

Kefi Treats

It's all greek to me!

We borrowed the name Kefi from the ancient Greeks. Although it’s a difficult word to explain, it pretty much sums up our attitude to life.

Google’s translation is fun, mirth, cheer, joviality, conviviality but it’s much more than that.

A friend of Kefi Treat’s has written a great article on the meaning of Kefi. It describes what Kefi means to us and hopefully, what it will mean to you.

what the heck is kefi anyway?

Greeks call it Kefi, the Italians call it la dolce vita, the French joie de vivre, the Irish the craic and in Australia we call it knowing how to have a good time. 

Kefi is the art of knowing how to live a little (OK a lot). The Greeks, both divine and mortal, have always known how to do that.

Kefi is Dionysus, the God of the good time and the foodie nymph Ambrosia. It’s Anthony Quinn doing the Zorba (of course), it’s smashing plates for the tourists, it’s the Olympic exemplar, it’s Calliope the poet’s Muse, Apollo and Aphrodite too, it’s the Acropolis at dawn and at dusk, it’s wine and dancing and more wine and dancing, it’s sun kissed islands of white-washed houses capped in indigo blue.

It’s about celebration, the simple joy of life. Good times and good friends. It’s surrendering to happiness and to the moment (because you know it can’t last forever). Kefi is exuberant, at liberty (but never libertine), boundless but mindful, enthusiastic, spontaneous, audacious, passionate, blissful and fun. It leaves the demands of daily life behind (just for a bit anyway).

You already know Kefi. It combines the elements of life we all treasure (from wherever on the map we hail): love, family and food. Always food. If that wasn’t the case you wouldn’t be on the internet looking for the best of your childhood, making your newest happy memories just like you did when you were a kid. For you (just like us) food is much much more than sustenance it’s about experience, feeling and something to cherish. It’s the culinary heirloom we call the family recipe, it’s the traditional table of the family feast, it’s the first time you were taken to a grown-up restaurant, it’s the unveiling of the wedding cake, it’s the comfort of food and community when tragedy strikes, it’s the lollipop and ice-cream cone of kids birthdays, and it’s picking apples in the village orchard with your grandparents, biting into a juicy ruby bauble, grown by your kin.

That’s what it means to have Kefi. It’s philosophical (it is a way to live life to its fullest), it’s poetical (it expresses your love of life) and it’s egalitarian (everyone is invited). Enjoy!
