The Miran Pastourma is a famed Pastourma and Soutzouki charcuterie business and market in Athens, Greece.[1][2] The market has been in operation since 1922.[1]
History
The Miran Pastourma market was founded by Miran Kourounlian, an Armenian refugee of the Armenian genocide, who managed to escape[citation needed] his native Kayseri and settled in Athens, Greece.[3] At the time, Miran Kourounlian was already experienced with making pastirma and sujuk and decided to establish a self-named charcuterie business on 45 Evripidou Street near the Omonoia Square of Athens.[1] The market soon became popular throughout Athens as it was one of the few Pastourma and Soutzouki sellers in the city. The company became even more popular when Miran Kourounlian's son Bedros took over management in 1960 and began distributing the products throughout Greece.[3] In 1983 the unit of the company building expands by 1300 m2.[3] After the death of Bedros in the 1990's, the heirs of the family business have been passed that to brothers Miran and Krikor Kourounlian who continue to manage the business till this day.[3]
Today
Miran Pastourma continues to serve pastirma and sujuk in its original location on 45 Evripidou Street. The company under the management of Miran and Krikor Kourounlian managed to attain an European Union export code in 1994 and are now distributing their products throughout the European Union.[4] According to current manager Miran Kourounlian, he believes that the company's success is due to its traditional ways of preparation and that the quality of the beef is better than most found in Greece since it is imported from Argentina and not locally since he believes Greek meat lacks a "consistent quality".[1]
