oUR ROOTS
Journey with us to our roots and get to know Digenes, along with our mission and vision as keepers of his legacy.
Digenes Akritas was a legendary border warrior of the Eastern Roman Empire — a man of Greek and Arab heritage whose courage, intelligence, and strength became the symbol of unity across cultures.
For centuries, he represented the ideal protector of the empire’s frontier and the spirit of a blended civilization.
His story inspires this brand because he embodied everything the Eastern Roman world stood for: diversity, cooperation, resilience, and tradition.
Just like his origins brought cultures together, Byzantine cuisine brings flavors together — Greek, Arab, Anatolian, and Mediterranean influences that shaped an empire’s palate.
