Since George and Vincent were in Scotland for the needs of their graduate studies, they noticed that the Greek products were popular among their friends from other countries. Whenever they returned from Greece to Scotland they brought together, the famous Greek olive oil, honey and jams from their home. These delicacies food were shared with friends from different countries from all over the world who liked very much. So, they started thinking to deal with something that both loved, and could be successful abroad. Then they thought that all the products on the shelves look alike so we wanted to differentiate themselves from the ordinary. But how? By giving ofcourse Greek identity on their products. At first they wanted a clever pun that attracts the attention of those who would see and distinguish it from the others in the shelves. After lots of thoughts and disagreements, BIG was created! BIG at first sight, but the most important is the phrase resulting from the acronym: and so Born In Greece was created! But this was not enough in order to have a complete Greek identity. They noticed what other products did not have; the images of the people who prepare the goods! Traditional female figures, as in the past, that made homemade marmalades for the family and people who collect honey from nature. Men beekeepers as we know from the past with the hives and what honeycombs reflect what you want to promote, the authenticity of their products.

Products formulated exclusively from fresh produce, handmade, without preservatives and colorants, only with natural aromas. The ingredients are pure with no processed additives.
