Le Maniot was born from a simple idea: to bring the world the authentic taste of olive oil from the heart of the Mani Peninsula in Greece. For generations, our families have nurtured olive groves in this rugged landscape, where the sun-drenched hills and coastal breezes create the perfect environment for cultivating exceptional olives. It is the foundation of our heritage.

Inspired by a desire to honor our traditions, we set out to preserve the true essence of Mani’s olive oil. These olive oils have a unique flavor and connection to the land. We take control of every step of the process—from the trees to your table. Le Maniot represents high quality olive oil and the integrity of our heritage story. The rich history flows through every drop.

The True Taste of Mani

Our olive oil captures the unique terroir of Mani — including its rocky soils, coastal air, and sun-drenched groves. This terroir imparts a distinctive flavor profile that sets Le Maniot apart from other oils, even those produced in nearby regions. Each bottle is a testament to the care and tradition that has been passed down through the generations, from our family to yours.
