A distinctive Greek olive oil for your table.
The pleasure is in the details

Make the finishing touch
the part you remember.

Imagine a plate of warm roasted vegetables arriving at the table. You add the olive oil just before serving. A fresh vegetal aroma meets the warmth of the food, followed by a gently bitter edge and a peppery finish. Suddenly, you have another reason to reach for a piece of bread.

This is the pleasure of choosing an olive oil for its character. You give it space in the dish. You notice what it brings. And you begin finding little occasions to enjoy it, from a quiet lunch at home to a table set for friends.

Dakry’s Unfiltered High Phenolic Extra Virgin Olive Oil brings that invitation in a 500ml glass bottle, with the distinctive flavor and Greek origin of our Messinian expression.

Understand what you are tasting

What is high phenolic olive oil?

The term describes olive oil with a relatively high concentration of naturally occurring phenolic compounds. These compounds contribute to the bitterness and peppery sensations that give many extra virgin olive oils their expressive character. Their levels vary with the olives, harvest, extraction and storage.

Extra virgin refers to the oil’s chemical and sensory quality category. High phenolic describes an aspect of its composition. For the curious palate, understanding both adds another layer to the experience. Explore the science in our guide to olive oil polyphenols .
