Axion-Esti

The tradition of the A.A Dimakopoulos family in the field of beekeeping begins around 1957, in Stemnitsa, Arcadia. The devotion passed from the father to the sons, who today, by natural-biological methods, produce honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, wax and all natural and necessary products for man. The transfer of bees to various areas throughout Greece, allows the collection of honey from different honeycombs and flowers. Axion-Esti’s goal is for the bee products to reach the consumer’s hands raw from the hive, with respect for nature.

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.
