Greek Dried Figs from kastaniotissa Istiea Evia

 

Continuing a tradition of many years cultivating our figs with care and good agricultural practices, we produce our own figs in Kastaniotissa of Istiea Evia, a semi-mountainous village located in the northern part of the Telethrio mountains at an altitude of about 285 meters with a distance of about 8 km from Istiea North Evia Greece.

Our figs are harvested in the traditional way where they are then naturally dried under the hot August sun. For at least 3000 years, the fig has been one of the basic components of the human diet.
