HISTORY
Our company’s history begins in 1885 when Dimitrios Talianis, an olive oil trader, came to Heraklion Crete from Constantinople to find new suppliers of olive oil for the family business. Five years later, in 1890 he founded the "HOUSE OF DEMETRE E. TALIANIS". In parallel with olive oil trading he also started the business of processing aromatic plants and carob milling to export them all over the world.
EXPANSION
For more than 100 years, our company continued to promote the finest of Cretan and Greek products in more than 40 countries in Europe, America and Asia. Exports helped TALIANIS create a powerful network of partners and suppliers all over the world that ultimately led the company to start imports as well. Firstly spices, herbs, pulses and other food products were added to the company’s portfolio and since 2008 TALIANIS is a powerful importer of animal food products and charcoal as well.
TODAY
Today, we are still located in Heraklion, Crete in a modern proprietary distribution and production centre of 4,000 sq. m. with a range of more than 300 products both in the food sector and animals’ sector.
