Today, it preserves its family character, but is also adapted to the increased requirements of the present years, gaining in this way a worthy place in the Greek market and acquiring an important stance in the European, American and Middle Eastern markets.

The ‘sweet pebbles’ by Dragées Hatziyiannakis, inspired by the Greek islands

The “sweet pebbles” product category is the company’s innovation for both the domestic and international market. Inspired by the Greek islands, this category includes products of exceptional quality and taste, texture and original appearance / decoration. The products look like real pebbles and have a core of whole fruits in syrup which is coated with chocolate (milk or 70% cocoa) and a very thin layer of sugar.


IOS – Whole cherry amarena in syrup & chocolate (70% cocoa) coated with a thin layer of sugar


PATMOS – Whole cherry in syrup & chocolate (70% cocoa) coated with a thin layer of sugar


SKYROS – Crushed walnut & chocolate (70% cocoa) coated with a thin layer of sugar


ITHAKI – Whole sour cherry in syrup & chocolate (70% cocoa) coated with a thin layer of sugar


CORFU – Whole kumquat in syrup & chocolate (70% cocoa) coated with a thin layer of sugar

Designed by Mousegraphics, a creative office that realizes this basic principle since 1984, and in a way that concerns each one of its partners / clients separately. This consistent approach has been rewarded with a significant circle of longstanding cooperations and has also resulted into new and successful professional relationships in a variety of applications within the design field.


Mousegraphics said: “To paraphrase the famous Marshall McLuhan expression, “the medium is the content” in this packaging extravaganza. Τhe symbiotic relationship of medium and message, (of which the media guru preached), is here translated into the eccentric coupling of package-product. Αn ‘outer-inner’ game of illusions is played here, for the eyes of the consumer. Τhe paradox of a sweet, edible, even appetizing pebble, the beauty of an open crop, with its shockingly realistic flesh, fake cherries which can fool birds into coming to nibble at them like in the ancient paintings of Zeuxis, rocky-tasty formations: all these are mind treats we prepared for the consumer within a heightened – reality design environment.”
