Eko, the organic: a family passion
Company vocation is to promote organic agriculture as the best way to guarantee sustainable development with deep respect to our surrounding nature and to supply good and healthy food: we have been the first Fairtrade manufacturer in Europe of breadsticks and snacks made with quinoa flour.
Our production system, completely unique in Italy, maximizes the flavor of the ingredients and lends excellent fragrance and crunchiness to our products.
Our products are prepared with few healthy ingredients, carefully selected and sourced from certified organic producers and strictly GMO-free.
We use extra virgin olive oil in all our products, a precious ingredient of the best Italian tradition, a rich source of antioxidants and monounsaturated fats, both of which are thought to protect cardiovascular health.
In the respect of the Italian tradition Eko has developed a new line, bioeko grissini & snacks, that are tasty, nutritionally balanced and made from the highest quality of wholesome ingredients. Nowadays bioeko is run by Alessandro, one of Eko founders, and his son Marco: the second generation has the same passion as always: health, taste and fragrance.
