TALOS is a polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil with a health claim, produced from organically grown olives at one of the first certified regenerative farms in Greece. It is created with care for what truly matters. For the health of the people who choose it. For the care and protection of the soil it comes from. For the culture it carries with it. For the land that gives it life. TALOS olive oil reflects a deeper connection between people, the land, and Crete.
Its name is inspired by Talos, the mythical bronze guardian of Crete, who, according to myth, was given by Zeus to King Minos to protect the island. Three times a day, he walked along the shores of Crete as its tireless guardian. His mythical home was Gerontospilios, today known as Melidoni Cave, a place associated with the worship of Talos since Minoan times. There, in a place where humans encountered the divine, the need for protection and safety found its symbolic form in an indestructible guardian.
