00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.151
In recent years, gastrotourism

00:00:02.151 --> 00:00:03.789
has been very high on our island

00:00:07.245 --> 00:00:10.575
Kassakis sausages started operating in 1999.

00:00:10.575 --> 00:00:12.824
Our products are mainly

00:00:12.824 --> 00:00:14.781
traditional sausages from Crete,

00:00:14.781 --> 00:00:16.453
although in recent years we have added

00:00:16.453 --> 00:00:19.734
some codes from the rest of Greece and Europe.

00:00:19.734 --> 00:00:22.101
The characteristic of quality products is

00:00:22.101 --> 00:00:23.971
their qualitative raw material,

00:00:23.971 --> 00:00:27.117
their qualitative production

00:00:27.117 --> 00:00:31.583
and their qualitative distribution and points of sale.

00:00:31.583 --> 00:00:35.131
From its inception, Kassakis Company believed

00:00:35.131 --> 00:00:37.648
and still believes in the proper functioning

00:00:37.648 --> 00:00:39.090
of the local community

00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:42.899
and we strive for all our suppliers to be local.

00:00:42.899 --> 00:00:45.183
In recent years, gastrotourism has been

00:00:45.183 --> 00:00:48.755
very high on our island which creates conditions.

00:00:48.755 --> 00:00:53.988
By bringing tourists-customers-consumers in touch

00:00:53.988 --> 00:00:56.607
with local producers and local flavors,

00:00:56.607 --> 00:00:59.267
a good base for export activity is created

00:00:59.267 --> 00:01:01.997
for the small businesses on the island.

00:01:01.997 --> 00:01:05.172
But I still think that producers and hoteliers

00:01:05.172 --> 00:01:07.594
have plenty of room for cooperation.

00:01:07.594 --> 00:01:11.366
In recent years, Cretan hotel units have started to work

00:01:11.366 --> 00:01:14.049
more and more with local producers.

00:01:14.049 --> 00:01:17.474
This, of course, fills us with great responsibility,

00:01:17.474 --> 00:01:19.903
and we are constantly trying to find

00:01:19.903 --> 00:01:22.219
the same qualitative raw materials

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:24.959
and quantities so that these units can be covered.

00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:26.007
My name is Kassakis Manolis,

00:01:26.007 --> 00:01:28.136
I am the owner of Kassakis Sausages and

00:01:28.136 --> 00:01:29.109
I am a sausage maker.
