Our story
Kargakis Family
The story of the Kargaki family dates back a long time ago since the grandfather made his own cheese in a small family unit, with his excellent quality milk that he produced as a shepherd himself.
The family business evolves from generation to generation, and in 1991, new facilities are established with a goal to combine high quality local resources as long as years of experience, know-how, and the passion for cheesemaking, in order to produce superior quality products.
In 2008, new facilities were established in Panassos, Heraklio for ice cream and yogurt production, while in 2009, the business moved to new facilities in Anopoli, Heraklio.
