THE GEORGAKA FAMILY

In 1948, Argyris Georgakas took the first step for our family to be involved in beekeeping since then he bought his first hives and started beekeeping as a profession. His love and passion for the bee and its products make him one of the best beekeepers.

In 1985, his son, Dimitris Georgakas, took over the reins, where until today, with the same passion, he is recognized as one of the best and most experienced professional beekeepers in the whole country.

Today, the grandchildren Argyris Georgakas and Ioannis Georgakas, participating with their father in the production process and distribution of their products, make their family business one of the most well-organized beekeeping units.

With new modern facilities in Arnaia and machinery, our company meets all domestic and European specifications for the production, packaging and marketing of honey and beekeeping products by implementing a food quality and safety assurance system (HACCP).

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

For us, the best honey is that produced by bees, harvested and packaged with care and diligence in appropriate facilities. We work every day to collect what the bees create, so we can offer it to you.
Our goal is, following the ancestral tradition, to continue to produce pure and quality honey and beekeeping products of excellent quality, coming directly from the Greek nature.

VALUE IN EVERY CHOICE

The phrase "value" means that I consider something important, recognize it, and reinforce it. It can refer to people, objects, ideas, or situations. When I "value" something, it means that I treat it with corresponding respect or consideration.

Choice value refers to the importance or benefit attached to a particular decision or choice, depending on the consequences, outcomes, and priorities one has. Essentially, each option has a specific value that depends on:

1. Personal goals and desires: How much the choice contributes to the achievement of one's needs.

2. Moral and social principles: The choice can be evaluated based on whether it is in accordance with the moral and social values ​​of the individual or society.

3. Emotional impact: Value can be linked to how much pleasure or satisfaction the choice provides.

4. Long-term consequences: How beneficial the choice will be in the long run.

In short, the value of each choice is determined by the combination of the above factors, which affect how we value it and its consequences.

How “value in every choice” translates to the customer:

1. Product quality: The products we offer are of high quality, reliable and meet customer expectations.

2. Value for money: Our products are competitively priced for their quality. There is a feeling that your money will "take place".

3. Excellent service: We pay special attention to customer service, meeting your needs and offering after-sales support.

4. Trust: You can rely on us because we recognize the importance of offering more than just a product. We add "value" to your customer experience.

5. Unique experience: Our business offers something special that stands out, whether it is our unique products, or something more in services or added value in the market.

You often ask me which honey is quality and good, but what do we mean by this?

Let's explain it.

-First of all, what is quality?

It is the production of products that meet defined specifications in order to ensure the safety and satisfaction of the consumer - customer.

-What are the criteria that determine the quality of honey?

1) Objective criteria

They are those whose characteristics are measured in the laboratory with various instruments and are governed by legislation.

-Names (pine honey, cotton honey, etc.), description, definitions

- Chemical composition of honey (Carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, water, organic acids, etc.)

- Physicochemical characteristics of honey (fructose, glucose, moisture, electrical conductivity, HMF, dimension, etc.)

- Residues: drugs, acaricides, antibiotics, chemicals, heavy metals

2) Subjective criteria

They are perceived with each person's senses and vary according to their preferences.

These are: the taste, color, aroma and fluidity of honey.

GEORGAKA HONEY = TOP QUALITY

Why:

- Regarding the objective criteria:

1) HACCP procedures are followed to ensure food quality and safety.

2) Self-control

3) Collaboration with the beekeeping laboratory of AUTH for analyzes of objective criteria

4) Controls by the competent services
