Oh ! How should we introduce Mina!!! We first talked on the phone when we had to style and photograph some of her creations to be published in a food magazine!
After that first phone call, we all understood that there was something magical going on among us! This was the beginning of our friendship and, besides the fact that we don’t live really close to one another, we keep this relationship alive!
So, Mina is a Greek Chocolatier in Belgium, being inspired by the aromas and spices of her country. She uses many ingredients that she brings from Greece, like dried figs from Kymi, almonds from Kavala and pistachios from Aegina, olive oil from Kalamata, Mavrodafni and Vinsanto winesjust to name a few..Her work is characterized by delicacy in texture and flavor and manages to give an absolutely personal and recognizable tone.
Just a bite is enough to understand that this chocolate, bar or truffle, is created by Mina with lots of love and art and with the best ingredients, always carefully chosen. Not toforget to mention of course her famous "lasures", large and thin pieces of fine chocolate that take amazing and different shapes and forms from Mina's hands.
Good news is that in a few days, her first chocolate boutique will be ready and its windows will be filled with chocolates with tahini, wild fig, cherries and roses. If you happen to visit Belgium, don't forget to stop by her boutique! Otherwise you can find Mina's creations in "Sokolatreia", a shop based in Thessalonki!
We wish her all the best at her new start because she really deserves it!
