Dried Figs from Taxiarchis – Nature’s Sweetest Gift, from Northern Evia
In the sun-kissed hills above Istiaia, in the fertile land of Taxiarchis, grows one of Greece’s most treasured natural delicacies: the fig tree. Here, in the heart of Northern Evia, tradition, climate, and care come together in a timeless ritual — the cultivation and sun-drying of figs that are not just nutritious, but sublime in flavor, texture, and purity.
At the forefront of this legacy stands the Taxiarchis Agricultural Cooperative, a model of collaboration and excellence in Greek agri-food production. Formed by local growers with deep roots in the region, the Cooperative has turned what was once a small-scale village practice into an internationally recognized symbol of Greek quality and authenticity.
Each fig is harvested by hand at peak ripeness, then sun-dried with natural methods passed down through generations. The result is a product that is:
Free from additives or preservatives
Rich in fiber, potassium, and natural sugars
Delicately sweet, earthy, and intensely satisfying
Beyond their taste, these figs carry the soul of their place — the clean air of the Aegean, the mineral-rich soil of Evia, and the unwavering commitment of the farmers who nurture them from tree to table. The Cooperative’s mission is rooted in sustainability, fair farming practices, and a passion for promoting one of Greece’s most historic superfoods on the world stage.
Perfect as a healthy snack, a gourmet pairing with cheese or wine, or as an ingredient in both sweet and savory cuisine, Taxiarchis figs are a reminder that real luxury is grown slowly, under the sun.
