Therianos Family – A Vision Born from the Heart
In the heart of Zakynthos, amidst olive groves that have stood proudly for centuries, lies the Therianos Family – a farm that is not just a place, but a story, a tradition, a living heritage passed down through generations.
From a small seed with love and care eternal tree blossoms.
Organic Farm in Zakynthos: Local Products, Olive Oil, and Authentic Experiences
In the heart of Zakynthos, in the village of Kallithea, a dream was born that became a reality – a seed planted and turned into a tree. Since the age of 16, Dimitris Therianos envisioned a space dedicated to showcasing the culture, local products, and traditions of the island where he was born. Today, this vision has come to life on his family's organic farm, which he inherited along with his siblings from their father, Spyros, who passed away early in life.
This dream was not just his own, but evolved into a shared vision with his family. From the very beginning in 2014 sister Dionysia and mother Toula stood by him, supporting him every step of the way. In 2020, his brother, Anastasios, joined the daily operations of the farm, while his sister, Kalomira, contributes in every way possible—both remotely and with her presence whenever possible.
Now, Dimitris has an even bigger goal: to create the best products in the world, to highlight the richness of Zakynthos and Greek land, and to promote a culture that has flourished through the centuries. Guided by unity, family ties, and strong relationships, this vision continues to grow, proving that tradition and evolution can harmoniously coexist.
Through this dedication, Dimitris has succeeded in creating one of the strongest brand names in his region and country, with the aim of taking it to the entire world. He has created superior quality products, with gold awards for his exceptional olive oil and the promotion of its health benefits for people's well-being. This is not just a business, but a mission: to bring the authentic taste of Zakynthos and Greece to every corner of the planet, spreading not only the products but also the soul, tradition, and culture embedded in them.
Together, the family didn't just create a farm; they built a symbol of authenticity, hospitality, and passion. This space is not just an effort to preserve their heritage; it is a living monument of unity, perseverance, and the deep connection between the land and its people. Every taste of their products, every story they share, every experience they offer is not just a service—it's an act of love, culture, and timeless tradition.
Whether you visit this space or enjoy their products from afar, you are not just tasting the authentic flavor of Zakynthos—you are experiencing a heritage. A heritage of devotion, a family working together, a dream turned into reality. And on this journey, their mission is not only to create exceptional products but to inspire others—to make this vision a shining symbol for everyone who appreciates quality, tradition, and the bonds that unite all people across the Earth.
Its founder and creator, Dimitris Therianos
Νever saw the land merely as a place of production. From a young age, he felt its heartbeat, understood its language. In 1997, when his father, Spyros Therianos, entrusted him with the management of the farm, Dimitris didn't take on just a responsibility he embraced a mission.
The Vision That Became a Family Mission
Dimitris knew from the very beginning that the Therianos Family was not an individual endeavor. He succeeded in inspiring and sharing his dream with his entire family. They all worked together with love, dedication, and tireless effort, uniting their strengths to bring to life what once seemed distant: the creation of a model farm where tradition, quality, and hospitality would be showcased in the best possible way.
The Soul of the Place – A Family United in Creation
Dionysia Therianos , supported every step of the way in bringing the vision to life and in supporting Dimitris and the whole family Always . From the moment the farm opened its doors to visitors in 2014, she was there, helping with her smile and creativity. With a love for art, she created unique crafts and jewelry, while her literary talent led her to write a book, which was published by Dimitris Therianos Editions. Her work has touched many hearts, with critics calling her "the youngest Kazantzakis," an acknowledgment that honors not only her but also her family's passion for art and tradition.
Anastasios Therianos, Supported and stood by Dimitris and the whole family Always from the start.

Dimitris conducted extensive research on olive oil and its health benefits over many years. In 2010, he recommended high-phenolic olive oil to Mother Tula, who was struggling with various health issues, including cholesterol, arthritis, varicose veins, diverticulitis, stomach problems, and constipation. After just 20 days of using the olive oil daily, her health dramatically improved, bringing balance and energy to her body, transforming her life.
Their mother,
Fantoula Therianos, was an unflagging pillar of strength, who, with her love, wisdom, and dedication, kept the family united. Her care for her children provided the strength needed to keep the family's values intact. She supported and recognized Dimitris in his immense endeavor to create a business that would be good for the whole family. Her faith in him gave him the power to continue so that after her husband and father, Spyros Therianos, a new leader would emerge to continue the family's legacy with the inspiration, strength, passion, and values necessary to make this vision blossom.
An Olive Oil That Carries the Soul of Its Creator
Dimitris Therianos didn't settle for merely preserving tradition; he turned it into art. He took the basic knowledge of cultivation from his father and elevated it to a new level. He researched, experimented, and collaborated with universities and scientists to reach an unparalleled level of quality.
The olive oil of Therianos Family is not just a product; it is a piece of history, knowledge, and love invested in the land. It's no coincidence that it has been awarded gold medals in countries like Spain, England, Greece, Cyprus, Canada, and Dubai. It's no coincidence that it is considered one of the finest olive oils in the world.
But beyond its flavor, this olive oil also offers health benefits, as it is high in phenolic content. With this knowledge, Dimitris Therianos didn't stop there. He created an innovation that holds a patent – one of the few in Greece. This olive oil goes beyond mere nutrition and becomes a true medicine of nature.
The Vision That Became Reality
Dimitris' vision was born when he was just 16 years old. Since then, he dreamed of creating a global model of a visitor-friendly farm, a place where the culture of Zakynthos, tradition, the land, and its people would harmoniously connect.
With tireless work, faith, and the support of his family, this dream became a reality. Today, Therianos Family is not just a farm; it is a living organism that highlights the land, the products of Zakynthos, and the soul of its people.
Here, the past and the future meet. The land continues to give its fruits, visitors learn its story, people savor its authenticity, and the Therianos Family continues to write its own history, a story full of love, faith, and dedication.
Because Therianos Family is not just a business.
It is a family.
It is a tradition.
It is a piece of our heart.
It is a therapy for the soul.
Dimitris Therianos participated in the international conference of the Oleocanthal International Society in Malaga, Spain, where he discussed high-phenolic olive oil alongside Dr. José Amerigo, Dr. Stefanos Kales, Chef Maria Loi, and Chef García Peinado.
