The producer
My name is Vassilis Karatsikis, I was born and I live in one of the most beautiful and pristine places, Karpenisi, in Evritania. I have always had a special love for my place and a deep appreciation for the nature and the wild beauty that it offers us. My life as a child is connected with nature and the activities within it. I am a beekeeper and I practice nomadic beekeeping, that is, I move my bee colonies from region to region depending on the flowers. In recent years I have been handling my beehives with the principles of organic beekeeping, always aware of the environment and my products have been certified organically!
Our Philosophy
I started beekeeping in 2011. When I got my first bees, the microcosm of this creature made me think and understand how big and important it is in our lives and everyday life. How goods that we take for granted, would not exist without the existence of bees! Harvesting my bees and placing their honey in jars, I began to see that in them I could "close" a piece of nature and aromas, which he himself enjoyed every day.
That's why I try to offer a product that is pure and unadulterated, just like my bees collect it with consistency, responsibility, respect and love for the bee and the environment, without any processing. My production mainly concerns mountain honeydew such as: Fir honey, Oak honey, Pine honey and Forest honey. My beehives during the honey collection period are located in mountainous areas in the pristine mountains and the pristine forests of Evritania while they are transported to the mountainous North Evia for the honeydew of Pine. Thus, I was inspired by the name of my products, "MOUNTAINOUS", which are also certified organically.

Evrytania
Evrytania is the smallest prefecture of Central Greece and the most sparsely populated prefecture in Greece. It is a purely mountainous area, with most of its area at an altitude of over 1,000m. It has great water wealth and huge forest cover. The prefecture is almost completely covered by mountains. At the highest points of the mountains, firs dominate. Lower, oak forests, while below 1,000 m., Mediterranean vegetation.
According to UNESCO research, Evrytania is considered one of the first regions in the world in terms of environmental cleanliness and the first cleanest region in Europe. It is the "basis" for the researchers' measurements, considering that the infection is zero.
