re (crithmum maritimum): a superfood of high nutritional value since antiquity. The particular microclimate of the Cyclades, with drought, hot sun, brackish waters, sandy soils and strong winds, led us in choosing rock samphire, also known as criste marine, or sea fennel. Rock Samphire is a native aromatic medicinal plant and a valuable ingredient of the Mediterranean diet. Since the era of Hippocrates (4th Century B.C.), Dioskourides (father of Pharmacology) and famous botanologist Plinius, there are many references to its therapeutical properties and it is considered as one of the most important herbal remedies. Due to its high nutritional value, it can be part of an excellent vegetarian diet. Its leaves are a rich source of vitamins C, E and K, which help stimulate the immune system and provide antioxidant activity. It has a similar composition to olive oil, containing iodine and sodium, while the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help regulate metabolism and anti-aging action. Our partnership with award-winning Greek Chef Vasilis Kafaloukos began and evolves under a common vision: to create unique handmade products of high nutritional value, meeting the demands of high gastronomy and modern aesthetics. Following two years of research and laboratory tests, we have created products of premium quality, made with the finest local ingredients to serve the art of sophisticated organic gastronomy, acting as stewards of the land and the environment. The experiential relationship, the harmony with the natural environment and the need to protect it, all express our values. Crafting products which highlight the “fruits” of the Cycladic land is our passion. ANTHI VEZYRI
