Halkidiki, with its triple peninsula conquering Northern Greece, is a place where myths, legends, and unparalleled beauty combine. From the ancient forests of Athos shining in Halkidiki, where the monks carved wood from the trees and the thickets of wild vegetation and offered them at auctions to support their monasteries, to the village of Stavros Halkidiki - once known as the village of charcoal burners, where its inhabitants mainly lived from charcoal production - Halkidiki hides a rich history behind every corner.
As the years passed, charcoal production gradually declined, but our close contact with the locals strengthened, allowing us to maintain access to this rare type of charcoal. When you light this charcoal, you are not just preparing for a gastronomic experience, but calling upon the history, culture, and heritage of this unique region to come alive in the flame of your grill. In every spark, there is a reflection of the ancient forests, the silent monks, and the countless stories that have passed through these places.
The glow of Chalkidiki: Athos, with its unique grain, ensures even burning, allowing your food to be perfectly cooked, enhancing the flavors, and securing the Greek touch in every bite.
We understand the importance of preserving our planet. Our charcoal, derived from hardwood, is subject to strict harvesting processes, sourced from specialized forests designated for this purpose, where all procedures and protocols are under continuous supervision and control.
We promote sustainable harvesting, ensuring continuous supply without harming the environment.
