Vasilis turned his greatest dream into reality, leaving Athens behind for his mother’s village despite being discouraged by many.
VASILIS KOUTROULAKIS was born in central Athens, but spent a lot of time during holidays and celebrations in his mother’s village, Kleitoria. His love for the village was so profound that, as he grew older, so did his desire to live there permanently.
In beekeeping, Vasilis Koutroulakis found an escape from the suffocating city life. His exceptional honey earned first place in Gastronomos magazine’s blind tasting.
The product that received the highest score in the blind tasting conducted by the Gastronomos team was KόRYS carob honey, earning an impressive 305 points for such an unusual, autumnal honey. With a spicy flavor, rich coffee notes, and a hint of smokiness, this is a gourmet honey that you will either love or hate. The tasters, however, all loved it. The runner-up, with a score of 262 points, was an oak honey also by KόRYS. This is no coincidence.
