Product Description
Product Description
Macedonian green peppers, Greek cheese, and the kind of bite that earns its place on any table.
Green Peppers with Cheese by Paltsidis is a refrigerated antipasto from Thessaloniki: whole Macedonian-type green peppers, firm and slightly tangy, stuffed with a cheese mixture of mizithra and yogurt, seasoned with oregano and vinegar, and finished with olives. Paltsidis has been producing Greek meze since 1975 — this is the sharper, more herbaceous side of their stuffed pepper range, where the green pepper brings a different character to the same filling that works so well across the whole line.
The green pepper has more edge than the red: less sweetness, more vegetal bite, with the vinegar in the preparation adding a clean acidity that keeps the cheese filling from sitting too heavily. The mizithra and yogurt blend is creamy and slightly tangy, with oregano cutting through the richness. The result is an antipasto with more contrast than its red counterpart — a better fit if you want something that cuts through a richer board rather than rounding it out.
How to use it
- Meze or antipasto board: the natural pairing partner for richer elements — aged cheese, cured fish, tapenade. The acidity of the green pepper provides balance where the red would add sweetness.
- Quick protein snack: 5.4g of protein per 100g from the cheese filling. Ready to eat directly from the container, no preparation needed.
- Toasted bread or pita: slice lengthwise and place on grilled bread. The vinegar-forward brine makes it work particularly well with plain flatbread.
- Greek-style starter for guests: serve alongside Kalamata olives, feta, and pita. The green pepper adds colour contrast and flavour contrast to a board that might otherwise be all red and cream.
- Straight from the container at room temperature — the acidity is at its most balanced when the chill has had ten minutes to come off.
Nutritional Components
Nutritional Components
Macedonian green peppers, mizithra, and acidity: what this container actually contains.
Green Peppers with Cheese by Paltsidis contains a Greek cheese base — mizithra and yogurt — combined with Macedonian-type green peppers, olives, oregano, and vinegar. At 166 kcal per 100g, it is slightly lighter than the red pepper variant (187 kcal), with the difference mainly driven by lower natural sugar content in the green pepper flesh — a direct consequence of the variety.
What the nutritional profile tells you:
- Protein: 5.4g per 100g, from the mizithra and yogurt filling. Consistent with the rest of the Paltsidis stuffed pepper range, meaningful for a ready-to-eat antipasto.
- Fat profile: 13.8g per 100g total, of which 4.6g saturated. Slightly lower than the red pepper variant; the majority comes from vegetable oil and cheese, predominantly unsaturated fats.
- Carbohydrates: 5.1g per 100g, of which 1.9g are natural sugars. Notably lower sugar content than the red pepper variety (3.6g) — the Macedonian green pepper is less sweet by nature, which explains both the nutritional difference and the more acidic flavour profile.
- Salt content: 3.5 g per 100 g. Consistent with preserved and pickled Greek antipasti. Factor this into daily intake if consuming a larger portion.
- Mizithra: a whey-based Greek cheese, lighter than most cow's milk cheeses. Combined here with yogurt, it contributes a fresh, slightly tangy note that complements the acidity of the green pepper.

Storage guide: refrigerated from day one, eaten at room temperature.
This product is refrigerated throughout its shelf life — from the Paltsidis production facility in Thessaloniki to your door. Once you receive it, it goes straight into the fridge. The preservative system and the vinegar-based acidic environment keep the product stable for up to 12 months unopened.
How to store it correctly:

- After opening: keep refrigerated and consume within a few days. Ensure the remaining contents are submerged in the oil and brine.
- Serving temperature: remove from the fridge 10–15 minutes before eating. The acidity of the green pepper is more balanced, and the cheese filling creamier at room temperature.

About Paltsidis:
Founded in Thessaloniki in 1975 by Panagiotis Paltsidis, the company began with a small range of Greek meze classics — tzatziki, taramasalata, and feta spreads. Today, it produces over 300 product codes and exports to more than 35 countries. The Green Peppers with Cheese belong to their antipasti range, a category built on the northern Greek tradition of combining pickled vegetables with dairy. Everything Paltsidis produces carries the same regional logic: ingredients that have been eaten together in Thessaloniki for generations, assembled with the consistency of a company that has never changed the core recipe.
