Company | History

Theodore Stefos learned the art of making botargo the traditional way from relatives and fishermen, while he was growing up on the shores of the Messolonghi-Aitolikon lagoon. He acquired remarkable knowledge and expertise in botargo processing. For several decades his limited production of homemade botargo was renowned and highly appreciate by a small local circle and enjoyed only by those fortunate few.

In 2008, his brother George and a team of food specialists and management experts joint forces in order to open the company to the Hellenic and global market. Together they envisaged a way of sharing with the world the precious lagoon products by coupling tradition with innovation.
