ABOUT AEGEAN HERBS

The inspiration for Aegean Herbs was a love for Greek herbs. It started on a small farm on Amorgos Islands in 2014, focusing on the typical native aromatic herbs of the island. They have since met other small producers who share their philosophy.

All of their products are completely natural and free from sweeteners and additives.

They follow the philosophy of Natural Farming, harvesting when the product is found in nature at the time and in the form that nature chooses.

Natural products do not follow the rules and standards of human devising and have almost zero carbon footprint.
