Tzepos Daily Bakery

Ο Tzepos Daily Bakery is a business - emblem for Naoussa which has already completed 90 years without ever changing or ceasing its activity even through very difficult conditions and without ever escaping the narrow confines of the family.

The history of Tzepos Daily Bakery dates back to 1927 when Barba-Giorgis starts making the first ones in Naoussa buns who learned from refugees about 4-5 years earlier by going daily to Veria on a donkey for this purpose. Only buns, and in fact "boiled", with honey, and yeast like no one made until then and no one else managed to repeat it in the same way.

From his friend's basement from America, to his own bakery that was to knead by hand all the buns for Naoussa, the "Manchester of the Balkans" which were sold by more than 40 young children in baskets or dumplings their. "It's Pocket", they cried.

With sweets, cheese pies, ice creams, buns, the company slowly grew, together with the city that gave birth to it, and with a legacy of 5 children, a lot of work, all together, boys and girls made it together myth.

Somewhere in 1960 was found Takis and in 2000 o George so that they too can put their little stone, each in his own way, but with a common goal.

Nowadays, in 2019, we have an account with 3 stores, 30 employees, cooked food, bread, pies, "gracliani", must flour, which the company continues to produce with religious reverence. His Naoussa once and his Naoussa now.

During this great story the classic confectionery tables played a catalytic role. In the occupation and the civil war was the place where young people drank liqueur and danced to the sounds of jukebox, later adults now tasted wonderful syrups with fresh butter that they had lacked, in the '60s they took with them "French" pastes and a little later in the '70s they became a kind of secular center of the time. These still exist in the main store as a special place where you can sit with people of all ages and ask for anything you saw and would like to try accompanied by a wonderful hot handmade chocolate.

«Life may have changed a lot over the years, but for those of us who have to follow exactly the same conditions and procedures in order to produce exactly the same products that the previous generations taught us, we would say that our daily lives remain unchanged. The same time the yeast, the same time the kneading, the same time the baking, the aroma of the cooked sesame, a well-cooked crust, a bite of the hot bun of the day with a little batzio and Naoussa is ready to say goodbye", Says George, who from dawn is in the laboratory of Tzepos Daily Bakery and personally monitors the daily production.
