Introduction

The responsibility for the unit, Pediaditis Manousos, graduated as a chemist from the University of Crete and occupied himself with herbs and essential oils since he was a student. Through BioAroma he targets the advantages of the uses of the essential oils, always based on their long-term tradition and their useful characteristics for the consumers.

The Distillery

The raw materials, which BioAroma use, are either wild herbs, which are collected from the Cretan mountains, or herbs, which are cultivated organically.
The essential oils are extracted with the method of the stem distillation, in stainless steel distillers in the lowest pressure and temperature.
The final procedure is the
chemical analysis of the products in a gas chromatographer, resulting in the production of the essential oils with highly therapeutic value and pharmaceutical characteristics.

The herbal garden and the folklore museum


Apart from the distillery there is also a unique  park with various Cretan herbs, a museum and an exhibition of our products.

EloundaIno Review

If any groups, schools or other institutions would like to include us in their program of educational excursions we would request to communicate with us a week before. The entrance for a none-organized group is free.
BioAroma is a modern production unit offering a wide range of natural products made from herbs and plants that can be found locally. An excellent museum and beautiful herb garden for the visitor to walk around. Lots of information sheets around the museum showing the use of the artefacts from the past. This is a great place for a visit, you can see a modern production unit producing it's natural products. The aroma is fantastic with the sent of flowers and herbs filling the air.
Many people are now using natural products made from wild herbs and other natural materials, here you can see firsthand how they are produced. You can also experience how the people of ages past used herbs and essential oils in their everyday life.
The BioAroma unit also has an onsite area where you can purchase their products.
