At “the Manna” Tsatsaronakis, we never forget our roots. That is why we continue to make our products in Crete, as we want to honour and continue to contributing to the place where it all began. From the traditional oven that Charitos Tsatsaronakis built in 1948, to a state-of-the-art 9,000 square metre production plant in Platanos Kissamos, Chania.

Our production process

The company’s R & D department prepares optimised unique flour mixtures with the most desirable characteristics both for our production process as well as our consumers’ tastes. Traditional recipes and production methods have been kept intact through the continued use of using stone slabs used in wood fired ovens, along with ovens, dryers and packaging automated assembly lines. At the same time, the company continuously tests, adapts or replaces mechanical equipment so as to improve productivity and product quality as well as enhance extroversion.
