For over 200 years the Dimitri Giannakos Family has been producing the finest unfiltered extra virgin olive oil at the foothills of Mt. Taygetos . Nestled along the backdrop of idyllic green slopes and steep fir-covered hills, the family’s 60-acre farm is located just 20 kilometers south of Sparta and 20 kilometers north of the southern Mediterranean coast.
We’ve been buying DEVOO for years and go out of our way to get refills these days. Consistently fresh and delcious, it’s so much better than anything you can get in the stores!

A Family Legacy
Dimitri Extra Virgin Olive Oil was founded in 2007 by Dimitrios Giannakos and Dimitrios Komninos In Baltimore MD. In 1897 Giannakos’ grandfather went out into the surrounding countryside to dig up small wild olive trees that had grown from seeds dropped by birds or blown by the wind. Dimitri took care of them until they were old enough to graft and then planted them on our farm so that they could grow into producing olive trees. These types of wild olive trees are known to produce the best quality olive oil to this day.
