HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

About 8 km south of Kastoria and at an altitude of 660 m., Rises Argos Orestiko which is the second largest city after Kastoria.

"Argos" means field and the first time we meet its name is in the Homeric epics! The nickname "Orestikon" is given to the son of Agamemnon Orestes. According to legend, Orestes, after the murder of Clytemnestra's mother, burst out chasing him. He arrived in the area of Orestida and there he built Orestiko Argos. However, there is also the view that the genus of Orestes who inhabited the area wanted to give their name there.

Later Argos gave birth to the general of Alexander the Great, Perdiccas, but also Pausanias, the bodyguard and later murderer of the Macedonian king Philip II. Thus, it occupied a key position in the pantheon of the eternal cities of the Macedonian Dynasty and the Greek territory later. Today it is a destination of archaeological, naturalistic and special eco-technical interest.

If we consider the rational view of the origin of its name that came from the mountainous and rocky province of Orestida, we understand the importance of the landscape and at a productive level. The word argos means coastal plain and the adjective Orestikon means the rocky plain. The rocky field was to become a fertile place with special soil characteristics that nourished and nourishes the roots of the highest quality legumes of the Mediterranean!
