Delicacies from a Unique Place
On the western side of Lesvos, nestled between the mountains of Pelza and Exymnos, lies Mesotopos, a place that dates back to ancient times. In a region characterized by volcanic activity, seasonal rivers, and dramatic weather changes, the nature surrounding the village boasts a very distinctive and wild beauty. Thus, the products of this land are of intense and unique flavor, recognized throughout the entire island.

Our History
The Women’s Cooperative of Mesotopos began as an idea in 1996 for the first time through the initiative of the Social Intervention of Mesotopos. It took two years for this idea to take root. In December 1998, the cooperative was established through the collaboration of the Social Intervention of Mesotopos, twenty-five women, and the Agricultural Service of the Regional Self-Government of Lesvos.
With great enthusiasm and a desire to create, the members delved into their work. The chosen field of work was the production of spoon sweets, tray sweets, jams, liqueurs, handcrafted pasta, and other delicacies. To ensure that our products had their own unique identity from the very beginning, we worked with respect and consistency, based on traditional recipes, without adding preservatives. We adopted a product return guarantee and offer the market reliable products with the aroma and flavor of Mesotopos.
