Handmade traditions from Pelion
Wild fruits slow-boiled in copper pots by the women of Vizitsa.
No shortcuts, no additives — just Pelion’s harvest preserved in glass.
Our Promises
What we stand for
01
100% Pure
No preservatives, no pectin, no thickeners. Small batches boiled gently until the natural syrup speaks for itself.
02
Local Harvest
Every cherry, fig, chestnut, and herb is hand-picked from Pelion’s slopes at the peak of its season.
03
Copper Tradition
The same heavy copper cauldrons our grandmothers used. Slow fire, patient stirring, timeless recipes.
Honest Craft
From orchard to jar
Step 01
Wild Harvesting
We climb the steep slopes of Pelion to hand-pick fruits and herbs. Each fig, cherry, or chestnut is individually checked for size and ripeness.
Step 02
Sorting by Hand
Fruit is cleaned using mountain spring water. Stones removed, figs peeled by hand, one by one, ensuring zero waste.
Step 03
Slow Boiling
Fruits boil in traditional copper cauldrons with pure sugar. No pectin — just patience and natural syrup caramelization over gentle flame.
