We are a Women’s social cooperative, which was founded in 1999 in Genisea, Xanthi, Greece. One of our purposes was the revival of morals, customs and traditional cultures of our country. We heard from the older people the cultivation and the processing of sugarcane and decided to <resurrect> this product and its process in exactly the same way as it was 50 years ago. Starting with the cultivation of sugarcane, it’s juicing, it’s baking, its packaging and its standardization, and we ended up in the final product, which is approved by the State Laboratory and from the Nutritionist and Diabetology Department of Harokopion University. Our final product is the well-known traditional sugar cane molasses PETMEZI which is widely used in baking and in cooking as a healthier substitute of sugar
