Information

In 1890, Kostis Lampakis was among the first to start making handmade smoked cold cuts in Agios Konstantinos Rethymno. The occasion was an old secret sausage recipe given to him by his uncle. The recipe was developed and passed to his son, the father of Nikos.

When Nikos Lambakis was a child, he watched his parents prepare sausages in the workshop. The process was so devotional that it looked like a ritual. The meat was supplied by their own pig farm, ensuring the best raw material for their products. The aromatic plants were collected by women from the surrounding mountains, while the most sophisticated spices were supplied by the city's merchant. Inside the lab each had his role. His father made the mixes, and together with Nikos they prepared the meat by passing it from the manual machine. Then with the same machine they put the meat in a pig's gut, and they tied them with their hands. The smoking was done in a special room outside the house, on cypress wood, collected from the mountain. His mother put the sausages on paper, while the grandmother tasted various recipes with the sausages to the kitchen ...
Originally, the products were consumed in the tavern that the LAMBAKI family maintained in the village, but the most affluent residents of the village preferred it for their feasts and social events too. They quickly began to get to know the surrounding areas and they did not take time to reach the city.

The aromas, flavors and experience of making sausages marked his childhood and inspired him to continue the tradition of handmade sausages to date. After three generations, we maintain the same ritual of our grandfather Kostis, with the same passion, using modern machines that ensure complete hygiene and high quality for our products.
