MIRAN
A LEGACY OF TASTE AND RESILIENCE
1922 – A year marked by upheaval, displacement, and historic events. For the Kourounlian family, it was also the beginning of a journey that would shape generations to come—a journey built on passion, craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication to quality.
It all started with Miran Kourounlian, the visionary founder of our business. A true artisan, he carried with him the secrets of pastourma and soujouk -making, a craft perfected over time and passed down through generations.
Hailing from Caesarea in Cappadocia, his life was marked by movement and resilience. From Chios, Piraeus, and Old Kokkinia, where he ultimately laid the foundation for what would become a culinary legacy.
With unmatched skill and dedication, grandfather Miran turned his expertise into an art, creating pastourma and soujouk that people not only loved but sought after—flavors that became an inseparable part of Greek culinary tradition.
A century later, the legacy lives on. Today, Miran remains a symbol of authentic taste, heritage, and excellence, continuing to craft the products that generations have cherished.

A staple in Middle Eastern and Greek cuisine, it pairs perfectly with eggs and melting Greek cheeses like kaseri, creating a rich and flavorful saganaki with an unmistakable oriental character.
