Why we added Geusi Vounou to the PraveBio.cz range
Geusi Vounou is a Greek farming business from the Grevena region offering herbs, spices, pulses, mushrooms, honey, olive oils and traditional pasta. Its products are distinguished by the origin of their ingredients and verified organic certification.
We added the brand for its direct connection to Greek agricultural production and its range of regional foods with clearly described uses.
Blossom honey (Geusi Vounou, 450 g)
Geusi Vounou organic blossom honey is produced in spring, when bees collect nectar from a varied range of flowering plants. It is not a monofloral honey linked to a single plant; its aroma and flavour come from the blend of blossoms available during the nectar flow.
The honey has a lighter colour, a relatively thick consistency and a rich floral aroma. Its flavour is lighter than that of dark forest honey, making it easy to combine with cereal porridge, plain yoghurt, fruit, curd cheese, bread and delicate desserts.
Use it as a sweetener in the kitchen or add it to dressings and marinades. As this is a natural honey, its colour, aroma and consistency may vary slightly between batches.
How to use
- Breakfast – add it to bread, porridge, yoghurt, curd cheese or fresh fruit.
- Drinks – use it to sweeten tea, herbal infusions, milk-based drinks or homemade lemonade.
- Baking and desserts – mix it into batters, creams, fruit fillings or no-bake desserts according to the recipe.
- Dressings and marinades – combine it with vinegar, citrus juice, olive oil, mustard or herbs.
When sweetening a warm drink, add the honey once it has cooled slightly. For cold mixtures, first stir it briefly with a liquid ingredient from the recipe to help it combine more evenly.

Geusi Vounou – “taste of the mountains” from Grevena, Greece
Geusi Vounou (Greek: Γεύση Βουνού, literally “taste of the mountains”) is a family agricultural business from Vatolakkos near Grevena in northern Greece. The brand is run by Vasilis Karapas, an agronomist from a farming family who planted his first oregano on family land in 2014 while still studying. He later added Greek mountain tea, thyme, sage, saffron, lemon balm, other aromatic plants and pulses.
His grandmother Magdalini was an important influence, teaching the family how to work with local herbs and emphasising the value of traditional plant material. What began as a small student project developed into an agricultural brand combining Greek farming and culinary traditions with modern processing control, packing and export.

Not an anonymous brand. A real farm in Western Macedonia.
- Fields near Vatolakkos at approximately 600 m above sea level – not 680 m, as our website previously stated incorrectly.
- A family farming tradition – Vasilis grew up working in the fields and built on the experience of previous generations.
- Farm-grown herbs are naturally shade-dried to avoid unnecessary loss of aroma during drying.
- Herbs and pulses form the core of the farm’s own production. We use organic claims only for products that are individually certified; the brand’s wider range is not automatically organic.
Greek agricultural press reported in 2023 that the family farm covered approximately 50 hectares, including around 20 hectares of pulses and about 14 hectares of aromatic plants. Cereals used in crop rotation also remained part of the farming system. For the pulses and aromatic crops, the source reported certified organic cultivation.
Why Greek herbs are more than “just another oregano”
With Geusi Vounou, the main difference is not decorative packaging but provenance and the way the raw material is handled. Vasilis describes manual work from planting and weeding through harvesting, drying and packing. With aromatic plants, the aim is to preserve the character of the whole plant with as little processing as possible before packing.
For customers outside Greece, it is also useful to understand what individual Greek ingredients actually are and how they are used. A literal translation of the name is not always enough. Greek mountain tea, dittany, trahanas, kritharaki, hilopitaki and petoura are not marketing terms; they are specific traditional herbs, foods or types of pasta with their own uses.
From herbs and pulses to the wider Greek pantry
Today’s Geusi Vounou range is broader than the farm’s original production. At PraveBio.cz we therefore distinguish between two parts of the assortment:
- The farm-grown core: oregano, thyme, sage, lemon balm, Greek mountain tea, saffron, other herbs and pulses.
- The wider Greek range: traditional pasta, honey, mushrooms and truffle products, flavoured olive oils and other regional foods.
For each product we therefore check origin, ingredients, organic certification, the traditional name and the correct way to use it. The aim is not to sell customers “something Greek” without context, but to explain what makes each ingredient different, how to prepare it and why it has a place in Greek cooking.
Vasilis Karapas: from the first oregano crop to an export brand
Vasilis Karapas was born in Grevena in 1994 and studied agricultural development and farm business management in Thessaloniki. He has worked professionally in agricultural production and packing since 2014. Oregano was the first crop, followed by other aromatic plants and pulses.
Greek media reported in 2024 that more than 70% of production was exported. Exports began in Germany in 2018 and later expanded to other European countries, including the Czech Republic. Geusi Vounou was not created as a souvenir brand for tourists; it grew out of a working agricultural business and now sells its products across several markets.

PraveBio distributes Geusi Vounou in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. As with Ceylon Kokonati, we explain the differences between individual products, their Greek names, how they are used in the kitchen and the genuine USPs of each ingredient. Organic claims are used only where they apply to the specific certified product.
