Kontogianni Eggs

For 75 years, the Kontogianni family has been active in the field of poultry farming and the production and marketing of eggs and egg products.

In 1948 a family business was founded in Lycovrisi with the aim of breeding poultry and the production of eggs and egg products.
Then the company was relocated to its new privately owned and modern facilities in Vlora, Attica.
The experience and passion of all these years gave the third generation of the family the reason to continue even today in new facilities the tradition of Kontogianni eggs, with the same excellent quality, feeding Greek households with fresh eggs, satisfying the needs of the most demanding consumer.

At the same time, the expansion of the range was achieved with pasteurized eggs, organic farming eggs, barn eggs, free range eggs, quail eggs, powdered eggs and Easter eggs. Following the most modern methods, the eggs have a unique course in their field, harmoniously combining tradition with know-how and modernization. Something which is confirmed by the 3 awards it has in its possession, as the best business in its field.

Aigina Greek Nut Company

The companyAIGINA® Nutsis a family business that started its operation in 1952, when Yannis Tzitzis decided to process and standardize the pistachios he produced on his farms. For this reason, he founded the companyAegina ® Nuts, where the production, processing (cleaning, sorting), roasting and standardization of the unique product of Aegina takes place.

The companys facilities (new machinery imported from abroad) are created on privately owned land, close to the farms, so that there is a direct link between production and processing and standardization.

The company was the first in Greece to be licensed to operate, process and packageAegina pistachioand almond. It was the first to start the standardization of the pistachio of Aegina, thus giving added value to the local product. At the same time, due to the good relations and trust he had with the other local growers, he started to buy and process their production, so that a very large part of the quantity ofAegina pistachioproduced passed through his hands every year.

In 1989, Yannis Tzitzisson, Nikos, took over the company and proceeded to its complete modernization, with new machinery, a modern way of organizing production and systematic control of processing. Due to his knowledge and experience, relations with all the producers of Aegina have become even closer and more systematic: there is a constant exchange of information, scientific analysis and transfer of know-how. Cultivation is now based on knowledge and technical training, not just experience. Excellent quality and a unique product continue to be the drivers of his efforts. As a result of all this, as well as the quality of the nutAeginis-Nikos Tzitzis, it was registered as a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) product by the Greek Organization for the Certification of Agricultural Products AGROCERT.

In recent years, the family tradition is continued by the third generation the daughters of Nikos Tzitzis, following in the footsteps of their grandfather and father.

“Greek Breakfast” at Thessaloniki Airport “Makedonia”

An event organized by Fraport Greece, the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels and the Thessaloniki Hotels Association, which “travels your senses…”

 In celebration of World Tourism Day, which is observed every year on September 27, Fraport Greece, in collaboration with the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels and the Thessaloniki Hotels Association, organized a major event at Thessaloniki Airport “Makedonia” to showcase and promote the “Greek Breakfast” experience.

 “Greek Breakfast” is an innovative initiative by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, focusing on connecting the country’s rich gastronomic tradition, along with the hotel guests’ exquisite experience.

Its purpose is to express the HCH’s vision to invest in sustainable development by supporting the local producers and products that highlight the culinary identity of each Greek destination.

During the event held at the fully renovated “Makedonia” airport, operated by Fraport Greece, more than 1,500 departing passengers had the opportunity to taste traditional products from a variety of local gastronomy experiences, emphasizing the value and uniqueness of “Greek Breakfast” once again, as it “took their senses on a journey.”

 During the event, Mr. Giorgos Vilos, Executive Director of Commercial & Business Development, Fraport Greece, stated, “With great pleasure, we celebrated World Tourism Day today, together with the passengers of ‘Makedonia’ airport, the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels and the Thessaloniki Hotels Association. The primary focus of the event was the award-winning local gastronomy as experienced by the city’s visitors through ‘Greek Breakfast.”

 Mr. Alexandros Vasilikos, President of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, added, “We wholeheartedly support this effort, which brings Greek products to the table of every traveler. The innovative ‘Greek Breakfast’ program was launched in 2010 by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels and has since, enjoyed great success, enriching and increasing participation, continuously. In the past, tourism success was measured in terms of visitor numbers and revenue. Today, the success and dynamics of the tourism product are measured by its influence on the local community and its multiplying benefits to industries beyond tourism. This highlights the inseparable connection between culture, history, gastronomy, as well as sectors such as innovation and industry, all of which constitute the social fabric of our country. Specifically, the ‘Greek Breakfast’ program is based on significant efforts to promote the quality primary sector of the country in various regions, with 43 local agreements signed between producers and hoteliers, involving more than 1,400 certified hotels as the only product connecting the primary sector with the hotel and tourism industry. ‘Greek Breakfast’ serves as a solid foundation upon which we will continue to build to strengthen our gastronomic identity, which is a repository and guardian of the country’s culture and tradition.”

Finally, Mr. Andreas Mandrinos, President of the Thessaloniki Hotels Association, noted, “The ‘Greek Breakfast’ program created and operated by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels since the beginning of the previous decade is a highly successful initiative embraced by both hotel businesses and their guests, Greeks and foreigners alike. ‘Greek Breakfast’ embodies the hospitality of our country while simultaneously supporting local products and producers. With great pleasure, our Association jointly organized today, on World Tourism Day, this event with Fraport Greece and the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels, at ‘Makedonia’ airport. The aim is for travelers to return to their homeland, holding the tastes of Makedonia and Thessaloniki gastronomy as their final memory.”

Lemonodasos

The Lemon Forest of Poros Troizinia, an area of 500 acres of lemon trees, spread along the coast of the Peloponnese, is still a reference point for the region. Already from some texts of the 18th century, it is obvious that this place, with the production of lemons as its main focus, had a strong commercial and export activity for the time.

Inspired by the magic and history of the Lemon Forest, Vlachos family creates the Lemonodasos range of products, using the local production as raw material.

Ertha Herbs

The overall philosophy of ertha has a holistic approach, from the moment the seed reaches the earth to the moment the cup is in our hands. The benefits of organic farming for both our body and the planet, the proper use of resources and even recyclable packaging are part of their contribution to a better planet.

The health of our body and its excellent physical condition is just one aspect of our overall well-being. We live in a time when tension and stress tend to dominate our daily lives. Each ertha product contains stress-reducing adaptogens, contributing in a natural, effective way to a better balanced mental state.

Each ingredient of an ertha drink is not simply selected on the basis of its individual properties. Their aim is to create harmonious and exciting combinations that will provide us with a full range of beneficial properties. Thus, each blend is the starting point for a wonderful journey for the body and the senses!

You are what you eat. ” This could be Natures best advice as a nurturing and caring mother. Its wise advice and they take it very seriously. Thats why they use only organic, fresh and pure ingredients. When it comes to raw materials, the abundance of choices offered by Greek nature is unique. As for their beneficial properties, they have been known to the Greeks since antiquity. Thanks to their organic farming practices and natural processes, they retain all their valuable properties and their high nutritional and health value.

As the name suggests, ertha uses only environmentally friendly and recyclable materials, such as uncoated eco-paper and biodegradable tea bags. However, this is only one aspect of the nature-centric philosophy, which has (literally) deep roots, going back to the use of ingredients exclusively from certified organic Greek crops. Its a promise they made from day one not only to themselves, but also to nature.
