About Dakos

Dakos is a traditional Cretan dish, often enjoyed as a light meal or snack in Greek cuisine. It consists of a barley rusk base, topped with ripe tomatoes, crumbled feta or creamy mizithra cheese, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Often garnished with oregano or olives, Dakos is a flavorful and nutritious dish. High in fiber from the barley rusk and packed with antioxidants and vitamins from the fresh tomatoes, it supports heart health and digestion. The olive oil contributes healthy monounsaturated fats, while the cheese provides protein and calcium. However, its sodium content can be relatively high due to the cheese and rusks, so moderation is key. Simple and wholesome, Dakos is a perfect showcase of the Mediterranean diet's emphasis on fresh, nutrient-rich, and minimally processed ingredients.
