Production

All around the world, the products of every region are inextricably linked to the natural environments in which they are produced.

In particular, the production of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Origin (PGI) products is based not only on the characteristics of the raw materials and natural resources of the region, but also on the characteristics, manners and customs of the people who produce them.

The producers of Asterousia have taken advantage of both the fertile natural environment of the area and its rich history. Therefore, by combining traditional and modern production methods, they offer the market products of high added value.

More specifically, Asterousia is known for its olive oil, olives, herbs, honey, and milk. The small family craft businesses constitute the main source of income for dozens of Asterousian families from the past century to this day.
