Our story

The journey of the company started in Thessaly in 1968 when the brothers N. Tachas perfected their secrets of cheese making.

TEMPI “Greek Dairy Products” was formed in 2005 due to the passion of the current owners for products which are produced with pure, excellent quality raw materials and their belief in healthy Mediterranean diet.

Nowadays, Konstantinos Rompas and Nikolaos Tachas are leading the TEMPI team to the next phase of development of the cheese factory.
