A Taste of Origin: Pieria, Central Macedonia (Greece)
At the foot of Mount Olympus, mineral-rich soils, sea air, and mountain breezes meet optimal sunlight.
This unique microclimate ensures uniform ripening, stable Brix levels, and a clean flavour profile – the foundation for consistent B2B quality.
Vertical Supply Chain – All from a Single Source
Producer → Sorting/Packaging (IFS-certified environment) → Import/Sales in Augsburg
This integrated structure keeps logistics and costs lean – with noticeably better value for money and improved margins on both sides.
