Awards

In detail, the FOUR GENERATIONS history of the family is as follows:

In 1920, Michalis Zouridakis and his wife Anthousa Zouridakis founded the first bakery in Pitsidia, Heraklion, Crete.

Using pure, traditional ingredients and no preservatives at all, they began making the first traditional family products with love, zeal, and dedication.

In 1948, after 18 years of hard work, they opened the second bakery in Matala, Heraklion, Crete. Matala was then a very popular place for hippies from all over the world.
