Our business origins are to be found in Paliouri in Chalkidiki. This is where our parents, Despina and Lemonis Lemoni, opened their first bakery in 1978. They taught us to get up at the crack of dawn, showed us how to knead and how to tell the quality of bread. In 2000, endowed with our childhood memories and armed with persistence and dedication, we embarked on upgrading our family business and turning it into a dynamic company. Today and in tandem with training the third generation in the ins and outs of the business, we produce our products in our fully equipped production site , following certified systems of handling and food inspection. This is the base that delivers our products to our partners and our shops. Lemonis Modern Bakery operates according to a business model that is mutually beneficent and ensures the growth of people and services. We strive to obtain our raw materials from Chalkidiki and we are committed to a growth that is always compatible and with huge respect for the environment.
