Aktinidio Sperchiou

This kiwi variety is cultivated in the fertile plains of the Spercheios River valley in the prefecture of Phthiotis. Even though kiwi trees usually need well-drained soil to grow, this type has adapted well to the region's hot climate and high levels of precipitation.

Despite its distinctive flavor, the Sperchiou kiwi is not as popular as other Greek varieties, mainly due to its high price and a lack of promotion. This is changing, however, and the Sperchiou kiwi is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

It is distinguished by its easily peeled brown skin and juicy, delicately scented pulp. The flavor of Sperchiou kiwis is a perfect balance between sweet and sour, which makes this fruit best enjoyed in various fruit salads, healthy smoothies, or with some tasty Greek yogurt.
