The history of the company started in 1969, when Evripidis Melambianakis started the area’s first, small olive mill. In the beginning of 1990, Manolis and Michalis Melambianakis took over the then small company, with the copyright name MELAMBIANAKIS EVR. AND CO.
Though many things have changed since then, including the company’s name to EVRIPIDIS S.A., the family’s
long-standing tradition in the production and market of Cretan olive oil is still well-kept.
Our vast experience and the fact that we ourselves produce our olive oil in our state of the art olive mills, is very important not only to us but to our customers as well. We produce our extra virgin olive oil using the cold press method, with olives grown in mountainous areas of Southern Crete.
We see the company as an olive branch: in order for it to blossom, deep roots are needed.
The main commitment that the company Evripidis has made is the constant improvement of the quality of its procedures and products:
it's customers:
We believe that business is a matter of trust and so we aim for the complete satisfaction of our customers by offering quick service, reliable quality and research for new products.
the quality of our products:
Our company’s main goal is obtaining the highest quality by applying:
innovation and research:
Our future investments concern the research and exploitation of our new products, such as our oregano, basil, lemon and garlic flavoured aromatic extra virgin olive oils.
the community:
Our company, out of respect to Crete’s traditions, the unique Cretan ecosystem and the consumer, minimalises the harmful waste from the procedures and produces its extra virgin olive oil with quality as its utmost priority. It offers a product ideal for a healthy diet and longevity.
