It was from the historical village of Therissos, in the massif of the prefecture of Chania, that the Balantinos family started to deal in cattle-breeding and production of cheese products. The first store opened its doors in 1930 in the centre of Chania and, since then, the family has managed to create history in the field of cheese-making with top quality of products by a constantly developing business which is a real tribute to tradition.
An up-to-date factory in Varypetro of Nea Kydonia, respect for tradition, continuous investments on modern cheese-making technology as well as a complete, first-rate network from the dairy-farmer to the distribution of its end products have led the company to its fair conquest of the local market, still expanding. In addition, the business has won one of the top places in consumer preference not only around the entire Crete, but also in the great urban centers (Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and other) offering all products of traditional Cretan cheese-making, incomparable in terms of both taste and quality.
Today, the fourth generation of this family business aims to increase its productivity potentials so as to continue to meet constantly growing demand.
