Who we are

Being a family company is not simply our identity. It is the reason we keep complete control over every stage of production. From the careful selection of the raw material to the final standardisation, everything runs to strict procedures and constant checks.

Our facilities are new and fully renovated. In them we run the FSSC 22000, HACCP and ISO 22000 quality and food safety management systems, which hold every stage of production to a high standard. Our scientific and technical staff are fully trained, and we invest daily in knowledge, development and innovation. Our products contain no gluten, and the emphasis stays on quality, safety and flavour.

Consistency, care and responsibility have earned us the trust of consumers, and the aim has not changed: to give every family products with flavour, quality and a character of their own.

Our ranges

Four product ranges, one commitment to quality.

Sausages
Every recipe here is worked out so that flavour and nutritional value hold together, and every one of them starts from selected meat. Natural smoking over beech wood and aromatic herbs give each sausage a rich aroma and a character of its own. Respect for quality and attention to the right raw material sit behind all of them. From the classic sausages to recipes that are new to the market, what they have in common is quality that does not vary and a clean flavour. They are built for the demands of the way people eat now: reliable, and the same result every time they are cooked.

Cretan Products
Crete has taught us that good flavour begins with the right raw material and with respect for the way things have long been made. Every product here starts from selected meat and follows traditional recipes and techniques: marinating in vinegar, then natural smoking over beech wood with aromatic herbs from the island. Production is run to current food safety standards. No unnecessary additives, no compromise on quality, and flavours that keep their own character. The range covers apaki, the traditional Cretan smoked pork fillet; syglino, pork cooked until much of its fat is drawn off, then smoked and sliced; and the traditional sausages. Different products, one commitment: to honour Cretan tradition and to meet the needs of a modern diet.

Smoked Products
Selected cuts of pork are prepared, then slowly smoked over beech wood until they take on a rich aroma and a characteristic smoky taste. The care goes into the smoking itself, and into the raw material it starts from. Aromatic herbs give each product a taste of its own, bringing out the natural flavour of the meat rather than covering it. Traditional technique and current production specifications together give consistent quality, a strong character and an authentic taste. Smoked pork steak, pork belly, bacon: each one is for the meze table, the small dishes people share, and each sits as easily on the everyday table as at a meal made for an occasion.

Fresh Meat
A good meal begins with the meat itself. The raw material is chosen with care and checked closely at every stage of handling, so the meat keeps its freshness, its natural flavour and its nutritional value. The cuts are selected and prepared for a tender texture and the same quality in every pack. Between them they cover what a modern kitchen asks for, from everyday cooking to the grill and the oven. Quality, sound handling and respect for the raw material are what make meat that can be relied on day after day. The meat comes from approved and certified suppliers.
