Pomegranate: The Natural Skincare Superfood

Since ancient times, the pomegranate has been a symbol of rejuvenation, wealth, and prosperity in Greece. For centuries, the superfood has been deemed a sacred fruit and our farmers ensure to treat it as such by carefully transporting it from the fields to our lab in Athens where its ruby-like seeds are cold-pressed to yield antioxidant-rich extracts and formulated into natural skincare products.

In Ano Meria, Folegandros, you’ll find the small café-grocery of Mrs. Irini Psaromiligkou-Papadopoulou.

Her father opened it back in 1952, and it has been running ever since.

Mrs. Irini’s place is a blend of café, grocery, and kitchen — the kind of space you would find across Greece a few decades ago. Every day she cooks for locals, tourists, and travelers, serving recipes passed down unchanged from generation to generation.

When we met her, she was preparing the island’s famousMatsata — Folegandros’ handmade pasta.In a short conversation, we caught a glimpse of her story and her character.
