The Cornelian cherries were part of family jokes, a reason to go out with friends, a skill exercise as we were watching grown-ups gathering the best fruits. For us, the kids, it was valuable to participate in the creation of a special jam. For grown-ups, it was the exciting taste of the liqueur that left no one indifferent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.1rem;\"><strong>Life usually has the power of return, the perfection of a cycle.<\/strong> We come back with the power to continue the course around that old goal.<br><br>After extensive research and travels to countries where cornelian cherries are cherished and cultivated as a living part of tradition, we let knowledge and experience guide us to the varieties that would give voice to our vision. Each selection was made with a focus on their unique characteristics and harmonious flavors. <br><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.1rem;\">Thus, the first model cornelian cherry orchard of unique biodiversity in Greece was created.
