Our journey begins in January 2021 when, disappointed with the quality, taste and origin of cereal products that existed in the market, we attempted to create our own handmade products at home, with native raw materials products of the Greek land. The result was really unique\u2026<\/p>

But it was also the motive to dare and launch Philippa Foods, with the aim of turning our initial creations into a complete line of cereal Bar products offering it to consumers…<\/p>

With a basic principle, however, that would differentiate us….Each product will be interwoven with a specific ingredient, which in addition to being tasty and of high quality, will originate from Places in Greece that only there it is produced and is known for this uniqueness…<\/p>

This is how we began to search all over the country for these important raw ingredients, gifts of the Greek land – from producers with specific quality requirements. After a lengthy period of attempts, contacts, tests, discoveries, we concluded\u2026<\/p>

\u2022 In sweet and juicy Maleme Chania Oranges, the only PDO citrus fruits in Greece
\u2022 In the famous Chios PDO Mastiha oil
\u2022 In the tasty variety of Figs Smyrneiki from North Evia
\u2022 In the aromatic and exquisite Bergamot from Corfu
\u2022 In characteristic and full of flavor Hazelnuts of Ioannina with their elongated fruit
\u2022 In the traditional Tahini of Thessaloniki, a superfood with a history of over a century
\u2022 In crunchy Peanuts from the only peanut village in all of Europe, Ammoudia of Serres<\/p>

At the same time, we created a production area from scratch, based on the highest quality technical specifications, a workshop for the production of food products…<\/p>

And we set forth to create our line, always faithful to our core values for Greek, handmade, quality products…<\/p>

After many iterations, tests, refinements, new discoveries, dedication and endless work, we are immensely satisfied to be in the position to offer you the Ek Topon line of products and the possibility to love them! Enjoy!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
