Sesame Seeds: These golden, nutty sesame seeds from Evros belong to an heirloom variety cultivated in the area since ancient times, with the seeds passing from one generation to the next. Their selection comes from organic, non-mechanic cultivation. These Sesame Seeds are unhulled, thus rich in nutrients, and raw, meaning they'll become even more fragrant once you toast them.

Smoked Chili Flakes: The Karatzova peppers used for this vastly popular Smoked Chili Flakes are nowadays cultivated by just a handful of families living at the northern frontier of Almopia. Once ripe, these mildly hot, fleshy peppers are washed, hand-sorted, placed on birch wood, and slow-smoked for 10 days. During the smoking process, the farmers work shifts guarding the fire day and night, ensuring it never goes out.
