Danny and Hassida Eliahu and their sons arrived in New Zealand with a desire to introduce pita bread to the New Zealand table. At the time, pita bread was not commercially produced in New Zealand and Danny saw an opportunity to make fresh pita bread readily available in supermarkets across the country.

Danny is a firm believer that fresh is best and is fiercely proud of his product. With sons Yaron in production and Gilad in logistics, this family-run company continues to bring high-standard, authentic Middle Eastern foods to New Zealand.

"Pita Bread has been enjoyed for thousands of years. Most New Zealanders didn't discover it until I founded The Real Pita Bread Company in 1988. We never cut corners and we only use the finest quality natural ingredients. That way our products are always authentic. I am proud that my products have never contained any preservatives or additives and never will."

Pita Bread, like all bread, is best fresh, but will keep well in its bag for two days. Because we do not use any preservatives or emulsifiers it is best to freeze your pita bread immediately after purchase and take out just what you need. It thaws quickly within 15 minutes, or it can be put in the microwave for about 30 seconds. The best way to get your Pita Bread crispy is to toast it for a few minutes or heat it up in the oven. We also provide Pita Bread in a vacuum container. It stays fresh for longer and is ideal for you to take away on holiday. It can also be frozen and used in the same way as the bagged Pita Bread.

Pita bread is designed to be eaten fresh. Danny's Real Pita Bread is delivered as quickly as possible to supermarkets so it is always fresh.

Danny's Real Pita Bread contains no additives, preservatives or colouring and only the highest quality ingredients are used, ensuring a great, natural taste. It has that delicious smell that only comes from the freshest, most natural bread.

The natural, healthy, dairy-free ingredients of Danny's Real Pita Bread mean that it not only tastes great, but it is good for you too! The National Heart Foundation recommends pita bread as part of a balanced, healthy diet. Organisations such as WeightWatchers and Jenny Craig also recommend the use of pita bread to their members. The ingredients for Danny's Real Pita Bread are all GE free and are sourced from New Zealand wherever possible.
