Notable facts

• Founded May 2003, with organic-food involvement dating back to 1988, based in the Thessaloniki area and distributing internationally.
• One sardine product is caught in the North Aegean near Mount Athos and processed fresh; another lists Adriatic sourcing, so catch origin varies by SKU.
• Discusses MSC and Friend of the Sea certification, but certification should be attached only to a confirmed product.
• Production relies on unnamed traditional processing units, apparently more than one relationship, so the producer/cannery is not confirmed.
