We know the fields, the hives, the hands. This is the full record.
Above 1,000 metres, in unpolluted mountain air, the herbs and mountain tea grow wild and slowly: oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary, and Sideritis mountain tea. The elevation and the short season concentrate the oils. Hand-harvested at peak bloom, slow-dried, whole-leaf.
A single family estate in the Argolis valley, the rare Manaki variety, cold-pressed within hours of harvest. Once a year, in December, the olives are pressed together with organic lemons and tangerines from the same valley.
Migratory beekeeping, hives followed across the bloom by a women-led tradition. Wild thyme, wildflower, forest, pine and chestnut. Raw, unfiltered, never heated.
One chain of integrity: a specific place, specific people, a specific outcome. The worldview that ties the Greek pantry and the Greek apothecary together.
