About Donika Olive Oil

Donika Olive was founded in July of 2023 by Bianti Danaj, a Albanian native but current U.S. Student and citizen. Based in Vlore, Albania the company’s philosophy about the entirety of the brand is, and will always be, to provide the devoted Donika family members with the freshest oil and an educational background that will allow all to continue to make exceptional choices for your health and taste buds. In doing this, Donika is supporting the hard-working Albanians behind the entirety of this operation. This beautifully aligns with Donika’s core values of family, transparency, traceability, quality, and sustainability. Using the monovarietal Albanian native Kalinjot cultivar and scientific, traditional timelines of processing, the company’s inspiration and focus is taking the fruit from farm to oil in less than 3-hours, maintaining the freshest quality, allowing for the best tasting and high-phenolic oil. Future plans will continue to progress Donika Olive Oil towards gaining access to more Organic land to produce more varieties of Albanian EVOO, as well as promoting other Albanian nature-based products, such as Organic Honey.
