Stories of Greek Origins

Anastasia and Dimitris choose the rarest and most precious gifts Greek nature has to offer and deliver them to your table.

Discovery

When I came across Stories of Greek Origins at this year’s Greek Brand New exhibition, their handsome teas and jars and the striking logo impressed me. As I explored their brand philosophy, it stirred within me the same excitement about Greek products which inspired A Magic Cabinet.

Stories of Greek Origins, a collection of carefully selected products from all corners of Greece, was founded in 2012 by Anastasia Astypaliotou and Dimitris Aggelopoulos.

Their mission is to collect the finest and rarest from this country, so blessed by the sun and its unique microclimate. They are especially interested in the parts of the country far removed from the tourist trail, where they seek to promote the area as well as its products.

Their core criteria are quality and flavour, both judged by themselves and their collaborating food tasters.

Anastasia and Dimitris seek out producers who work with the same passion and discrete commitment as they do and they often oversee the production process.

They hope to introduce their customers to the multiple benefits of the Mediterranean diet and also to some authentic gastronomic treasures.

In A Magic Cabinet, you will find heather honey from Fourni, oak tree honey from Evros and organic oregano, thyme and green tea handgathered in the Pindos mountains and an extra virgin olive oil.

Memory

Anastasia studied Business Management and Marketing and worked in senior corporate positions. Both she and Dimitris have links to various parts of Greece, but have also lived and travelled extensively overseas.

What brought them together was a common passion for Greece and great food.

Utilising their marketing expertise, they created Stories of Greek Origins in order to introduce a global audience to the love of pure ingredients and simple, genuine Greek cooking.

Narration

Stories of Greek Origins is a small family business, employing four people, in Agios Stefanos, in Northern Athens.

Discovering exceptional products, encountering the people and the stories behind them, is what drives Anastasia and Dimitris, who feel more and more like producers themselves as time goes on.

Anastasia was always intrigued by the risks of the entrepreneurial world and gets a lot of satisfaction out of positive customer feedback.

They will soon launch a spring sparkling water with natural mastiha oil from Chios. They opt for products based on their outstanding quality and related health benefits.
