MANI single variety extra virgin olive oil is made solely from organic Koroneiki olives from the Peloponnese. The olive trees are traditionally managed and the olives harvested by hand. Cold extracted in local mills, this balanced oil is light green in colour with a fresh, fruity, mildly nutty aroma and distinctive peppery finish.
A perfect accompaniment to fish, salad and roasted vegetables.
MANI olive oils are regularly awarded best in class in international food competitions. Most oils are Naturland Fair certified.
Taste with added value
Olive oil tastes good and is good for you. MANI extra virgin olive oils contain high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, MANI extra virgin olive oil is rich in phyto-chemicals such as vitamin E and polyphenols; antioxidants which contribute to cell health and which have anti-inflammatory properties.

In a class of its own: the MANI brand offers the world’s first Greek Organic & Fair olive assortment and thus makes an extraordinary ethical and environmental commitment. Naturland Fair certification stands for sustainable production and a system of ethical trade that rests on three pillars: organic, social and fair.
Processing
Olive oil
Critical to the quality of olive oil is the immediate processing of the olives as soon as possible after harvest. That same evening the precious olives are cold-processed in one of the 15 medium-sized oil mills in the Mani. The olive oil is extracted at a maximum temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, so that the valuable nutritional components of the olive are retained. Strict quality controls ensure that the top quality MANI olive oils qualify as “extra virgin”.
Organic & Fair
As part of this certification seven key principles are followed:
- social responsibility
- ethical & respectful trade relations
- fair prices
- regional supply of raw materials
- collaborative quality assurance
- community involvement
- corporate strategy and transparency
Naturland Fair guarantees fair conditions along the entire value chain, from farmers to the processor to the consumers, who are increasingly demanding an ethical origin for the products they buy.
