More than 14,000 products underwent the competition's rigorous blind tasting process. Ours have been recognized at the world's most coveted food and drink awards.
What is Great Taste?
Recognized as a seal of excellence and actively sought after by foodies and retailers alike, Great Taste, organized by the Guild of Fine Food, values taste above all else. All products for the trial have passed a blind taste test. each product is removed from its packaging so that it cannot be identified, before entering a robust, multi-layered judging process.
This year the trials were held over 90 days at two judging locations (Dorset and London) with a panel of over 500 judges. This year's series featured food and drink products submitted by 110 different countries from around the world.
Argyrios Georgakas states "We are delighted to win two Great Taste awards for our cotton honey and pistachio cream. I've been dreaming of this moment and I'm so proud to add the iconic black and gold Great Taste logo to our product label.
Georgaka honey starting from my grandfather's house was literally born from a family heritage , so to be where we are today and to be awarded every year is just wonderful.
Being recognized every year at Great Taste means so much to independent producers like us as it makes all the hard work and determination worth it!
Great Taste is the most recognized award for taste and quality in the world of food and drink, so it really is a big win!

The satisfaction of human vanity
The time we live in is experiencing many changes! The development of technology, the internet, globalization and social media have changed people's daily lives.
Business marketing has evolved with the collection and utilization of consumer information. Market saturation and competition have led businesses to create new products that are desirable to consumers. That is why today various honey products are widespread such as honey with cocoa, honey with fruits, honey with Chios mastic, honey with gold, honey with Kozani yolk, etc. etc.
I agree with the point of view that customers drive the developments and not the companies and their products but we consider all this to be the satisfaction of human vanity and the end result is a different product and not honey.
Our philosophy is different!
The purchase of a product must be a uniquely positive and unforgettable experience for the customer, trying on our part to exceed expectations by always offering something more and services such as shipping to your place at a low cost.
We stay true to what nature gives us and let her do her job.
For us, the best honey is that produced by bees, harvested and packaged with care and diligence in appropriate facilities.
Our goal is to offer pure and quality honey and beekeeping products of excellent quality, coming directly from Greek nature. That's why we work every day to collect what the bees create.
Sorry, but from us... Only honey!
