About Virelias
Turkey-based export company connecting Turkish producers to international buyers
Who We Are
Virelias is a Turkey-based food export company connecting Turkish agricultural and manufacturing capacity to international buyers across Europe, the Gulf, and beyond. We are a trading intermediary — not a manufacturer — which means our value lies in the supplier relationships, sourcing knowledge, and logistics expertise we bring to every order.
We work exclusively in the B2B sector, partnering with distributors, food manufacturers, importers, restaurant chains, and food service operators who need a reliable, knowledgeable partner on the ground in Turkey. Our role is to make Turkish food production accessible to international buyers efficiently and reliably.
Turkey is one of the world's most important food producing nations — the world's largest table olive producer, the source of approximately 70% of global hazelnut supply, and a dominant exporter across dried fruits, spices, pulses, and processed foods. Virelias exists to connect that capacity to the buyers who need it.
What We Source
Our catalogue spans nine product categories, all sourced from established Turkish producers with EU food safety compliance and consistent supply capacity.
Oils & Condiments
Extra virgin olive oil, table olives, olive paste, and pomegranate molasses from Turkey's Aegean and Marmara growing regions.
Pepper & Chili Products
Red and hot pepper paste, harissa, ajvar, shatta, lutenitsa, and sambal — produced in Turkey for European and global markets.
Preserved Vegetables
Roasted peppers, roasted aubergine, mixed pickles, gherkins, brined vine leaves, and capers.
Dried Fruits & Nuts
Dried apricots from Malatya, dried figs from Aydın, Aegean sultanas, Black Sea hazelnuts, and Gaziantep pistachio paste.
Tahini & Nut Spreads
Cold-pressed tahini, grape molasses, and tahini halva for food manufacturers, food service, and specialty retail.
Tomato Products
Tomato paste (double and triple concentrate) and sun-dried tomatoes from Turkey's processing tomato growing regions.
Grains & Pulses
Bulgur, chickpeas, and lentils — staple ingredients for food manufacturers and dry goods distributors serving global markets.
Herbs & Spices
Sumac, pul biber, oregano, and bay leaves — categories where Turkey holds dominant global market positions.
Ready-to-Use Sauces
Pizza sauces, pasta sauces, and doner sauces produced in Turkey from locally grown processing tomatoes.
Every product in our catalogue is sourced from Turkish producers operating under EU food safety standards. Compliance documentation, certificates of origin, and accredited laboratory analysis are available on request and confirmed per order.
