Ergon is the Greek word for vocation, the process of passionate work, and the sense of accomplishment that follows it. We chose that word to reflect who we really are. We are a network of small, independent, honest, food artisans. We traveled across Greece’s mountains, valleys, lakes, and islands to find them. Those local artisans who choose to remain true to their tradition and craft real food products following history-tested processes. It is our responsibility to nurture them by modernizing, protecting and promoting their honest work – their Ergon. It is our vision to preserve the values of the past by sourcing exclusively high-quality products and by branding them to meet modern-day standards – our Ergon. On our shelves, you will find the accomplishment of artisans who still believe that food-aking is an art with high standards and its own strict moral code. In our menu, you will find items that are crafted in a way that makes them worthy of their counterparts on our shelves – handcut or homemade; lovingly and carefully artisanal. Show less
