Dakry Olive - EVOO with high polyphenol content
Best quality from Messinia
Dakry Olive extra virgin, unfiltered olive oil comes from Messinia, a region in the south-western Peloponnese that has been famous since antiquity for its best olive groves and the production of premium extra virgin olive oil.
The capital city of Kalamata has given the world famous olives, but the real jewel of the region is the Koroneiki variety, considered one of the best for olive oil production.
Centuries-old olive trees in ecologically clean groves bring us a unique oil with rich flavour and aroma every year. With its high content of polyphenols, powerful antioxidants with health benefits, Dakry Olive is one of the truly exceptional olive oils.
This unfiltered extra virgin olive oil combines full flavour, maximum nutrients and authentic Mediterranean quality. Thanks to gentle cold pressing and careful selection of olives, it offers exceptional health benefits and represents a real investment in your health and culinary experience.
Messinia is not only the cradle of quality olive oil, but also home to a rich history and tradition. The ancient city of Messéné still has impressive temples and fortresses, while the coastline, with its pristine beaches and traditional Greek cuisine, offers an authentic Mediterranean experience.
This unique olive oil is packaged in a handmade glass bottle that suggests from the first glance that something precious is hidden inside. Discover the true taste of the Mediterranean with Dakry Olive!
Do you know what makes olive oil really good? Read all about polyphenols and their health benefits!
Why choose unfiltered, highly phenolic olive oil?
- Higher polyphenol and antioxidant content - Dakry Olive produces this oil from early harvested olives - when they have the highest levels of polyphenols, which act as powerful antioxidants. They promote heart health, fight inflammation and may slow aging.
- First cold pressing - No chemistry, no refining - just gentle pressing at low temperatures. This preserves the maximum nutrients and the natural flavour of the olives.
- Authentic taste and natural olive particles - Unfiltered olive oil is considered the 'milk of the olive'. It contains natural particles that add depth of flavour and even more health benefits.
- Limited quantities, higher costs but exceptional quality - Early harvested olives provide less oil, which increases production costs. However, the result is a rare and highly concentrated batch with unrivalled nutritional value.
- Directly from the farmer - You have 100% assurance of controlled origin. We know exactly the process of growing, harvesting and pressing.
Exclusive, custom-designed bottle - a symbol of luxury and protection
- Protects the oil from light and oxidation - Thanks to the dark, high-quality glass, the oil retains its freshness and valuable nutrients.
- Ideal as a gift - Suitable for anyone who appreciates premium and healthful products.
- It will stand out in any kitchen - It will become not only a gourmet helper, but also a decorative element.
How can you tell the difference in quality between olive oils?
- Supermarkets often sell blends - Cheap oils are mixed with extra virgin to reduce cost and increase volume.
- Filtration reduces nutrient content - Whilefiltered oil lasts longer, it loses the valuable substances that make olive oil such an exceptional product.
- Industrial processing - Most commercial oils undergo refining or other interventions that reduce quality and nutritional value.
Olive oil scam?
Most supermarket olive oils are not as good as the label claims. Cheaper oils are often adulterated and mixed with refined oils.

Every year, olive oils available in supermarkets and shops in the country are tested - and every year, brands that cheat are found. See the test results on the website of the State Agricultural and Food Inspection Authority, for example from 2017. And believe me, similar cases are repeated year after year.

How do Mediterranean people use olive oil?
- Fasting in the morning - A teaspoon or a shot of olive oil supports digestion and gives energy.
- For salads - The rich, fruity taste perfectly enhances fresh vegetables and other ingredients.
- Pastry dipping - In Italy and Greece, the traditional starter: fresh bread and good quality olive oil.
- For grilled vegetables or meat - Softens the dish and gives it a subtle Mediterranean accent.
- For soups - A drizzle of olive oil just before serving will bring out the flavour and add healthy fats.
Olive oil is just the beginning - supplement it with quality balsamic, fine vinegars and premium sea salt and spices. Even an ordinary salad will taste like a holiday in the Mediterranean!
Tip for maximum experience: proper storage
- Protect from light - Keep it in a dark bottle or pantry.
- Ideal temperature: 12-18 °C - Too much heat can accelerate oxidation and spoil the taste.
- Do not combine with plastic - Only glass or stainless steel will prevent the penetration of foreign chemicals.

Production
The olives for Holiston Ultra Premium, Dakry Premium and La Estaca Temprano unfiltered high phenolic oils are carefully hand-picked from the beginning of November, when they are still unripe and bright green in colour.
This early harvest is key to preserving the oil's naturally high content of polyphenols and antioxidants, which are responsible not only for the oil's distinctive flavour but also its nutritional value.
The olives are exclusively cold-pressed at temperatures of up to 27 °C and always within 24 hours of harvest, which ensures that the resulting oil retains maximum bioactive substances, aromatic components and fresh fruit notes.
The result is authentic extra virgin oils with a rich texture, tang on the palate, long-lasting aftertaste and powerful natural antioxidant properties - ideal for everyday healthy cooking and functional nutrition.

Is unfiltered extra virgin olive oil suitable for frying?
Unfiltered extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) contains microscopic particles of olive pulp that can affect its stability at high temperatures. These particles can accelerate the oxidation process and shorten the oil's shelf life. Therefore, unfiltered oil is generally not recommended for cooking food.
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.
