Orkos

“Lesperides” is a local – forgotten – word for the farmers. By using it we want to create a connection with the past and the traditional farming practices, without the use of unnecessary chemicals. It symbolises the respect for the old. The word “Lesperides” together with the illustrated plow create a logo that is well balanced and modern, and simultaneously bringing in mind the traditional character of the company.

Drosos family has its routes in Asia Minor, as most of the inhabitants of Kos Island have. For 3 generations now we keep using the traditional farming practices that were evolved through experience and pass from generation to generation.

“Orkos” is a Greek word which means “oath”. Our olive oil took its name from Hippocrates’ oath, which is written in all packages, in ancient Greek, so that all consumers will be able to taste high quality olive oil and understand the origin and the values of “ORKOS’’.
