Bostanica

In the city of Naoussa I just recently discovered a new business founded in 2017, the Bostanica laboratory which prepares dried fruit without sugar and preservatives.

Creators of Bostanica two beloved cousins ​​the Gospel and Popi who were born and raised in Naoussa, originating from Arkochori. Although their work experience so far had to do with office work, accounting and tutoring, as children the two girls had contact with fruit production on their family estates.

«From children at home we helped our mothers and grandmothers in preparation of traditional recipes based on our own fruits and vegetables. Growing up we realized that the dried fruits, juices, sauce, etc. of the supermarket, had nothing to do with what we had at home.

Thus began the idea of ​​creating quality products using pure raw materials and simple traditional recipes without preservatives and additives.

Growing up our children realize that there are no longer many solutions for healthy snacks. We remember Grandma Merope of Pontic descent, looking at us "Screams" which were naturally dried fruits.

The recipe is simple: spread the cut fruits on the sheet and dry them in the sun. So they had fruit all winter mainly for children. So we decided to make dried fruit our first product, following the "rule" not sugar and preservatives.»

As behind every big man hides a strong woman, so here, behind the two dynamic women hides a man, the third of the company the Dimitris who designed the things, setting up the unit, but also studying the production process. The Bostanica laboratory with all the modern standards of hygiene and quality joined the financing programs of the European Community and with raw materials the fresh fruits and vegetables of the region but also their own production from their farms that are organic, began to produce dried vegetables as before.

From their products - they were immediately blown away - stood out lotus, which was really a surprise for the girls: sweet and chewy.

Other dried fruits they produce are fragrant apples that match the wine while the cherry sweets and spices have nothing to envy from the fresh.

Girls enjoy their hard work and dream of new products and new markets. They are preparing 100% natural fruit juices, sauces tomato, pepper etc.

We wish the Bostanica laboratory good luck!
