Dakry Olive comes from the Messinia region in the southwestern Peloponnese - a region where olives have been cultivated for generations with a deep respect for the soil, nature and tradition.
The famous local olive groves produce the fruit of the Koroneiki variety every year, which is valued for its taste, stability and nutritional properties.

Is Dakry Olive Oil Organic?
Dakry Olive is currently undergoing a transitional period of organic certification. Olives are already grown without chemical fertilisers and pesticides, in accordance with the rules of organic farming.
Official BIO certification will be granted after the completion of a multi-year inspection process.
How is organic olive oil certified in Greece?
Certification of organic olive oil in Greece is governed by European Union regulations, which ensure that any product labelled as "organic" meets strict organic standards. The certification process involves several important steps:
1. Přechodné období: Producenti musí projít tzv. konverzní fází trvající obvykle tři roky. Během tohoto období je zakázáno používat syntetická hnojiva, pesticidy a GMO. Zavádějí se ekologické postupy, které chrání půdu, plodiny i životní prostředí.
2. Evidence a dokumentace: Farmáři vedou podrobné záznamy o pěstování, zpracování i původu použitých surovin. Tyto údaje slouží k ověření transparentnosti a dohledatelnosti celého procesu.
3. Pravidelné kontroly: Nezávislé certifikační organizace jako BIOHELLAS nebo DIO provádějí inspekce přímo na farmách a ve výrobě. Hodnotí se mimo jiné kvalita půdy, stav stromů a způsob lisování.
4. Udělení certifikace: Pokud producent splní všechny požadavky, obdrží oficiální BIO certifikát. Ten opravňuje k označení produktu jako „ekologický“. Certifikace se pravidelně obnovuje a podléhá dalším kontrolám.
Currently, around 9% of Greek olive trees are certified organic, which is a sign of the growing emphasis on sustainability and natural quality in Greek agriculture.

Production
The olives for Dakry Olive filtered extra virgin olive oil are carefully hand-picked during November, when they are ripe and have a typical dark green to purple colour.
Despite this, the oil retains a high proportion of antioxidants and natural polyphenols, which contributes to its stability and slightly spicy aftertaste.
Pressing is carried out exclusively in cold storage at temperatures up to 27 °C and always within 24 hours of harvesting, thus preserving the freshness and nutritional value of every drop of oil.
The filtered version is ideal for those who appreciate a clean texture, a more neutral aroma and versatile use in the kitchen - from salads to frying.
Official quality analysis of EVOO Dakry Olive
Dakry Olive Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been tested by the independent laboratory Chem Solutions (Athens, Greece). The results confirm the exceptional quality and high content of health-promoting substances.
The COA of Dacre filtered olive oil can be found as a pdf document for download in the files tab.
Chemical purity & oil freshness
- Acidity: 0,24 % (limit for EVOO: max. 0,8 %)
- Peroxide value: 6,3 meq O₂/kg (limit: max. 20)
- K270: 0.140 (limit: max. 0.22)
- K232: 1,728 (limit: max. 2,50)
- ΔK: -0.005 (limit: max. 0.01)
These results confirm the freshness, correct storage and high quality of the oil without signs of oxidation or refining.
Polyphenols & antioxidants
- Total polyphenols: 514,5 mg/kg
- Hydroxytyrosol: 3,9 mg/kg
- Tyrosol: 4,1 mg/kg
- Hydroxytyrosol acetate: 2,8 mg/kg
- Sum of derivatives (hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, AOA, DDOA, etc.): 9.3 mg / 20 g of oil
What does 9.3 mg / 20 g mean?
The laboratory result of 9.3 mg/20 g means that just 1.5 tablespoons of oil per day (about 20 g) contains enough bioactive compounds - specifically hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and their derivatives - to protect blood lipids from oxidative stress*.
The result therefore not only meets but exceeds the minimum set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which is 5 mg/20 g.
Such oil is a truly functional food supplement, not just a tasty kitchen ingredient.
*Health claims according to Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012
What does this mean in practice?
- Oxidative stress is a process in which free radicals damage cells, including fats in the blood (lipids).
- Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that help prevent this - they protect cells and slow down the aging process.
- The oil with its abundance of polyphenols thus contributes to the protection of blood vessels, heart health and overall vitality.
*Health claims according to Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012
What does this mean for you?
- High stability during heat treatment.
- Antioxidant effect - protection of cells from free radicals.
- Natural defence of the organism thanks to the high content of bioactive substances.
Dakry Olive is not just an ordinary olive oil - it is a functional food that brings both taste and health.
Is filtered extra virgin olive oil suitable for frying?
Yes, filtered extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is better for frying than unfiltered.
The removal of microscopic particles of olive pulp makes it more stable at higher temperatures and less prone to oxidation.
High-quality filtered EVOO with low acidity and a higher content of antioxidants (e.g. polyphenols) retains its nutritional properties and taste when fried and does not burn as quickly as conventional refined oils.
Filtered EVOO is therefore a great choice for gentle frying, roasting and baking.
Recommended temperatures and smoke points of olive oil
The smoke point of olive oil depends on its type and quality:
- Unfiltered extra virgin olive oil: The smoke point is around 160-180 °C. It contains more natural solids, which can burn at higher temperatures and affect taste and nutritional value.
- Filtered extra virgin olive oil: The smoke point reaches 190-210 °C, which makes it more suitable for cooking, including sautéing and light frying.
- Refined olive oil: It can have a smoke point of up to 240 °C, but loses a significant portion of its antioxidants and health benefits due to refining.
Recommendations for use:
- Unfiltered EVOO: Particularly suitable for cold cooking, such as salads, marinades or seasoning ready-made dishes, where its full flavour and aroma stand out.
- Filtered EVOO: Due to the absence of solid particles, it is more stable at higher temperatures and is more suitable for frying and other heat treatments.
When selecting olive oil for a particular use, it is therefore important to consider whether it is filtered or unfiltered to maintain the desired flavour profile and health benefits.

6. Purity
Most conventional olive oils can contain pesticide and herbicide residues if farmers are not careful about quality and use chemical sprays.
Cheap oils often contain a mixture of refined oils, which reduces their nutritional value and health benefits.
If olives are not stored and pressed properly immediately after harvesting, the oil may contain oxidised fats that are not good for the body and can lead to rancidity.
Another problem can be fungal toxins produced by poor storage of olives, which negatively affects the quality of the oil.
In addition, many commercial oils contain low levels of polyphenols, antioxidants that are key to cell health and protection from oxidative stress.
Dakry Olive differs from these common problems - the olives are grown in Messinia with the utmost care, without chemical sprays and with an emphasis on immediate pressing, so that the oil retains its purity, excellent taste and high nutrient content.

What are the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil?
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) has been valued for its health benefits for centuries. Modern scientific studies confirm that regular consumption of EVOO can significantly contribute to overall well-being and prevention of various diseases.
Protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress
The polyphenols in olive oil help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil containing at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives per 20 g of oil (EU approved health claim)
Supporting heart health
The monounsaturated fats in olive oil help to lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and raise "good" HDL cholesterol, which promotes cardiovascular health.
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
The polyphenols and vitamin E in EVOO act as powerful antioxidants, protecting cells from free radicals and reducing inflammation in the body.
Blood pressure regulation
Research suggests that EVOO may help lower high blood pressure by increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide, which keeps arteries dilated and flexible.
Support digestion
Regular consumption of EVOO can improve digestion, prevent constipation and promote healthy intestinal flora.
