The connection between consumers and coffee is as unique as people’s preferences; it takes on different forms (Roast & Ground, instant, RTD (ready to drink), espresso, cappuccino, ice coffee), is prepared in different ways (filtered, pressed, percolated, boiled), and consumed in different places (at home, in the car, on the go, at the office, with friends or alone as a private moment). The more we learn about people around the world, the more we learn about coffee. Our business seeks to cater to these unique cultural and behavioural needs as well as flavour preferences from around the world. We want to share this world with you. Strauss Coffee B.V. has grown to become one of the top 5 global coffee players in terms of green coffee procurement and one of the fastest growing coffee companies in the world over the past decade. As a major player in green coffee procurement, we actively collaborate with our partners on the ground and organizations dedicated to promoting sustainability. Through our More Than a Cup program, we extend our commitment beyond just sourcing coffee; it’s about fostering a sustainable future for coffee growers and the environment, working hand in hand with our partners to achieve this goal. We love coffee and we know that you do as well. So no matter when and how you drink your coffee, taking a break from a time-crunched day, enjoying time with family and friends, or simply on-the-go, we want to make that moment special for you.
- [Dairy](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/dairy/): Strauss has been manufacturing dairy products since the nineteen-thirties when the Group’s founders, Richard and Hilde Strauss, immigrated to their new home (in Nahariya) and began producing quality dairy products. Since the early days our dairies have developed, and have manufactured products that are well-known and loved by the Israeli public such as chilled dairy desserts, white cheese and cottage cheese, as well as unique products that are developed under know-how agreements and in collaboration with global corporations like Danone. Over the years, Strauss’s dairy products have become favorites and are much in demand. There isn’t a child in Israel who doesn’t know the Milky brand, and there isn’t a mother in the country who doesn’t know Dany, Danone or Yotvata Choco chocolate milk. For all these years Strauss has manufactured and delivered advanced, diverse products, grounded in Israeli agriculture’s high-quality dairy industry, coupled with investments in innovation and advanced technology. We are proud of the fact that all of our dairy products are developed by experts and supported by strict sampling tests and advanced quality processes designed to produce nutritious, high-quality products that will delight our consumers and make every mouthful one of pure pleasure.
- [Pasta](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/pasta/): The history of Pasta takes us back to the time of Marco Polo, who brought it home to Italy from his travels. Since then, it has gained pride of place in our daily diet. One of the most popular kinds of Pasta is stuffed Pasta, such as tortellini and ravioli. These little dumplings, served with the right sauce, make for a great hot meal. In 1995 Strauss created a new category on the shelf and began to manufacture a variety of fresh filled Pasta products at our factory in Carmiel. Over the years we have continued to invest in the development and launch of new products based on the concept that fresh Pasta is an especially tasty, healthy meal for adults and children alike. In developing our products we placed special emphasis on the taste, as well as the balanced nutritional composition and ease of preparation – all it takes is one minute in boiling water or a bubbling sauce and you have a healthy, tasty, fun meal. Served with a simple sauce or as the basis for a special, rich culinary creation, our fresh pasta products make for an experience that is easy to fall in love with. Buon Appetito!
- [Olive Oil](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/olive-oil/): Our Olive Oil, produced from a unique blend of varieties, is healthy oil with a delicate aroma and wonderful taste. Olive Oil embodies a whole world of natural aromas and tastes. To us, it is an exciting everyday wonder. Not without reason is it considered the finest of oils, and we believe everyone deserves the right to enjoy the experience of top-quality, natural, tasty Olive Oil. We are proud to be a part of this essential agriculture and to contribute to its development. Our Oil is extra virgin Olive Oil produced from diverse olive varieties in the cold press process, at a temperature that does not exceed 35°C, to preserve the natural benefits and healthiness of the oil.
- [Honey & Confitures](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/honey/): Honey is a gift of nature. Man has recognized the amazing benefits of this wondrous food for thousands of years. Honey is a natural product produced by honeybees. The bees collect nectar from flowers, transform it into Honey by a process of regurgitation and evaporation, and store it as a primary food source in wax honeycombs inside the beehive. Honey is a natural sweetener, and its health and nutritional benefits have been known since ancient times. It is an essential ingredient in a large variety of folk remedies, is considered a natural source of available energy for athletes, and for children, Honey is a natural, healthier alternative to spreads that contain fats. It also does not cause tooth decay! We have the privilege of being active in one of nature’s most wondrous products – pure Honey. We believe that everyone deserves the right to enjoy high quality, pure Honey, and thus, to experience a sweet, tasty touch of nature. Honey means Yad Mordechai. Yad Mordechai is the leading brand in the category in Israel. The Yad Mordechai Apiary is the largest in the Middle East. Our Honey undergoes the most rigorous control processes, and has been awarded the Standards Institution of Israel’s Gold Label as a token of esteem, in recognition of outstanding quality in the production and management of Honey.
- [Fresh Vegetables](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/fresh-vegetables/): The tastiest dishes are made of Fresh Vegetables that reach the kitchen straight from the field. Crisp, high quality vegetables that turn any meal into a celebration of freshness and health. The fresh smell of the field that lingers between the leaves, the strong, happy colors of freshly picked vegetables make the eating experience especially enjoyable. We established Strauss Fresh Vegetables to enable consumers to enjoy vegetables, assorted salad mixes and a variety of lettuces, all of the highest quality and the broadest, tastiest range, with the utmost convenience. The vegetables mixes are prewashed and ready to eat and allow for a quality home-made meal, even in the fast paced, busy lifestyle we lead today. Strauss Fresh Vegetables provides consumers with freshly harvested, high quality vegetables, every day. The freshness and quality start in the field, thanks to continuous contact with the growers, the choice of the finest varieties, and accompaniment of the growers from planting to gathering the harvest, through to the washing, sorting, and fast distribution of the products to points of sale. All of these processes are accompanied by a specialist agronomist who applies a sophisticated quality testing system to each of the production stages.
- [Dips & Spreads](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/dips-spreads/): Strauss’s ready-to-eat Dips & Spreads begin with our carefully chosen farmers and growers who know the land, the seeds and the plants, and know how to turn them into top-quality, wonderful vegetables whose fresh taste will excite you the moment you open the pack. We continuously strive to innovate and to offer you new Dips & Spreads experiences, which are the fruit of our deep bond with local agriculture in the countries where we are active and are based on our know-how and expertise. This innovation, which combines genuine, essential agriculture with the passion to create the best, tastiest and most interesting salads from its produce, is what sets our Dips & Spreads apart. For us, every good Dip & Spread begins in the field, with a top-quality vegetable, which is blended into a unique recipe. We then add spices and ingredients that bring you the tastes and smells of the marketplace. High quality tahini and fragrant freshly ground spices add aroma and joy to every kitchen, and remind us of the colors and sounds of the market, the place where the tastiest and most delightful Dips & Spreads are born. The packaged Dips & Spreads category is one that is steadily growing all over the world and is on a constant growth trend. We are committed to bringing our consumers, everywhere around the globe, the freshest, tastiest, and finest quality dips&spreads. We believe that the greatest wonder is created when people of different cultures get together around the table and grow closer through the food they share. Our journey to disseminate the Dips & Spreads and hummus culture, which began in 2005, is a culinary adventure that connects people from all over the world. Our international Dips & Spreads company is among the world’s leading manufacturers of Mediterranean Dips & Spreads.
- [Chocolate & Confectionery](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/chocolate-confectionery/): Everyone deserves a treat, and it’s always nice to give one. We all know that moment when you need a break, a few seconds when you can indulge in a bite of something sweet and slowly savor the tastes that bring joy to the soul. Every one of those moments is a complete sensory experience: the colors, the rustling of the wrapping, and the intoxicating fragrance. It can happen while you’re at work, in the middle of a meeting with friends, when you’re strolling down the street, or at home with the family – that moment when you crave a little something that will uplift your spirit and recharge your batteries. Strauss’s Chocolate & Confectionery products have sweetened many wonderful moments for children and adults alike, in Israel and elsewhere, for decades, and combine nostalgia with innovation: the first, through the Elite brand, a national treasure that brought us Parra chocolate, Mekupelet and other classics.
- [Bakery and Cereals](https://www.strauss-group.com/activity/bakery_and_cereals/): Bakery and cereal products accompany you throughout the day. We’re here to make sure you enjoy a variety of top-quality bakery and cereal brands, whenever and however you like them. Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal, because it gives us the strength and energy we need for a busy day. It’s no wonder that healthy, high-fiber grains with superb energy values, such as oatmeal, are an excellent way to start the day with a delicious and healthy meal that gives us the energy to get us through our day. To benefit from the nutritional values of oats at other times during the day as well, Energy’s cereal bars help us overcome those hunger pangs that make our stomach growl in the middle of the work day or while on our way from one meeting to the next. Tasty, quick and nutritious. Not a day goes by without that sweet moment all of us look forward to, taking time out to relax for a while and indulge ourselves as we enjoy our afternoon coffee. This is the right time to help yourself to a slice of your favorite Elite cake. And when we get home and sit down for dinner with the family, it’s fun to bring a new statement to the table, a little twist that will upgrade the entire meal. Elite Crunch gives that extra touch to supper and lets the whole family enjoy it in different ways – dip it, use it to “mop” your plate, or simply eat it as it comes.
