Evlogia is a small family business based on the Pinakades farm in Crete. It stands out for its craftsmanship and respect for natural ingredients.

What's more, the process is deliberately minimal: gentle cooking, without additives or pectin, to preserve flavor and texture.
Evlogia: authentic production at the Pinakades farm
Evlogia is a small family production located on the Pinakades farm in Crete. The farm extends over 84 acres, on the banks of the Evinos river, in an unspoilt natural environment. Not only are the fruits carefully selected, but they are also processed according to artisanal know-how handed down through several generations. As a result, our jams are made without added sugar or preservatives. What’ s more, each recipe follows a minimal process, with gentle cooking to preserve both flavor and nutritional qualities.
No-sugar-added jams from Evlogia
The fruit is grown locally, then harvested by hand when fully ripe. Then, processing takes place directly on the farm, without the addition of pectins, colorants or artificial agents. This careful method not only preserves the texture of the fruit, but also its aromas. In addition, low-temperature cooking limits oxidation and preserves nutritional quality.

Evlogia offers a varied selection of classic jams, made from carefully selected Mediterranean fruits: cherry, fig, lemon or peach. In addition to these traditional recipes, we also develop more original creations, with bold flavor combinations, such as :

Alongside its jams, the artisanal boutique extends its range with other homemade products. These include :
