Our Story

My name is Stylianos Papadakis, and I founded Dipeat after studying Food Science and gaining experience in both food manufacturing and hospitality.

I was born and raised in Crete, Greece's largest island and the birthplace of one of the world's most celebrated Mediterranean food cultures. Growing up, food was always simple, fresh, and made to be shared. Olive oil, legumes, vegetables, herbs, and homemade recipes were part of everyday life.

After moving to the UK and working in food manufacturing, I saw first-hand how many products are developed around shelf life, production efficiency, and cost reduction. At the same time, my experience in hospitality reinforced the importance of quality ingredients, freshness, and flavour.

These experiences made me realise that convenient food doesn't have to be full of preservatives, artificial additives, or long ingredient lists.

That's why I created Dipeat.

My aim is simple: to make fresh Mediterranean-inspired food using ingredients people can recognise and trust.

By combining my background in Food Science with the food culture I grew up with, Dipeat creates fresh dips and seed crackers made from simple, honest ingredients.

Everything we make follows one principle:

Real food. Made properly.
