“maggiri” was the name of  an old Cretan pasta which was cooked in a very specific way: Half of it was boiled the other half fried and then altogether stirred in the broth of the first half. It was served like thick soup with lots of cheese on top.

Our goal is for products with high nutritional value and for this reason, our pasta dry out many hours at low temperature and thus their nutrients cannot be altered

An attempt to pass down to new generational the traditional pasta of our land and to awaken tasteful memories to the olders.

Alongside the traditional flavor such as noodles,wholewheat noodles, swivels, orzo, chylopitaki, frumenty, fusilli pasta and xinochodros, we evolved into more specialized tastes such as noodles with the ink of the cuttlefish, noodles with locust beans flour, fusilli pasta with turmeric, fusilli with basil and garlic, fusilli with dikkoko wheat,  fusilli with basil and garlic, fusilli with vegetables,fusilli with ricotta,vegetables orzo, whoelewheat orzo and traditional swivels with cretan herbal extract.
