In 1925 James Doukas inherited 1500 olive trees passed down through generations in the Laconia region of Greece in the southern Peloponnesus. He started an olive oil and cheese factory out of the basement of his home. In 1931, Peter Doukas, now producer, was born. By the age of 10, Pete was working with his father in the Oil and Cheese factory. The basement was converted into a factory. They supplied oil and cheese to local villages.

By 1950, after the war, James Doukas was able to triple his orchards from his profits. In 1960 Peter left for the states with his wife to start a business of his own. They had three children. Peter’s goal was to return to Greece and expand the oil business. He sent all his profits from the states to Greece to purchase more land and olive orchards.

In 1976, James Doukas passed away. Peter shortly after returned to Greece to take over the business which was left to him. By 1990 Peter became president of a coalition formed of local villages. They produced the same olive oil from the Koroneiki olive variety. Their pressing factory at that time produced 1,500 metric tons of the best extra virgin olive oil. They exported their oil annually to Italy to produce Italian olive oil.

Our olive oil is 100% extra virgin, 1st cold pressed. Our acidity level has consistently been below .4%. Our olive oil is made from the famous Karoneiki olive variety. This olive is known for the flavor and the antioxidant that prevents the development of cancer. Currently our orchards produce 2,000- 3,000 metric tons of the best extra virgin olive oil annually. The harvest is hand picked in the morning and pressed the same evening, any olive that touches the ground stays on the ground.
