It all began almost a century ago! Haitoglou family had just arrived in Thessaloniki, Greece after leeing Asia Minor. The most important thing they brought with them was not their belongings: It was their love for family traditions and a secret family recipe for making the most popular sesame-based treat… Halva.

It was in 1924 that they opened a small shop dedicated to creating their delicious halva by hand in small batches, continuing the craft their fathers and grandfathers had taught them.

Throughout the years many things changed: the small shop became the center of attention for everyone that loved halva, as more and more people were drawn to this artisanal treat.

But some things remained the same: The passion to create the best products, the legacy embodied in the family’s secret recipe and, of course, the symbol of a female figure in a traditional Northern Greek costume.

The “woman from Thessaloniki” - or the “Halva Lady” as she became widely known - the proud, graceful figure with no name, started as a symbol to help people identify their favorite halva at a time when many couldn’t read. While the image evolved over time, it’s still the emblem of Haitoglou Family Foods, as it embodies our roots, heritage and tradition.

Building on our family’s values, we continue our mission with a passion to share our legacy, our unique craft and our favorite products with every family, as we have done for four generations.

The mineral water Hanácká kyselka is pumped from six wells, the deepest of which reaches the depth of 265 m below ground level. The current water has the same composition as it had when it was discovered. It comes from the depth of Palaeozoic Devonian Dolomite limestones, which are superimposed by impervious schists and neogen clays with a thickness of 30 – 50 meters and by several meters of Quaternary alluvia. The mineral water originates in the bedrock of neogen, in cracked karst Devonian carbonate rocks or the underlying bedrock, which provides the water with its high saturation of carbon dioxide. This genesis corresponds with a quite high content of hydro-carbonates and alkaline elements (calcium, magnesium, several chlorides and sodium ions).
