Le Maniot is produced exclusively and authentically in Mani, Greece. Single cultivar olive oils, like ours,  specify the region they come from, giving you a more direct connection to the soil, climate, and traditions behind that olive variety.

Napoleon, Elizabeth and family in Greece ( You’re supporting local farmers). We’re providing what our family offers and what is locally produced with care.

The oil is evaluated by a trained tasting panel. It must show no defects and have a noticeable fruitiness. If there are off-flavors or other defects, it cannot be labeled as Extra Virgin. (Don’t worry – we are)

Extra virgin olive oil often has a bold, fruity taste with hints of grassiness and a mild, peppery finish. This makes it a favorite among chefs and home cooks looking for a rich, aromatic oil that can stand out in dressings, drizzles, or dips.

We believe in well-being and being well – so we’re not only giving you taste but we’d like to highlight the benefits of extra virgin olive oil:

• Rich in Antioxidants & Polyphenols: Compounds like oleocanthal and hydroxytyrosol may offer heart-health and anti-inflammatory advantages.
• Healthy Fats: Primarily monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), supporting beneficial cholesterol levels.
• Culinary Versatility: Enhances dishes with a vibrant, fresh flavor—ideal for drizzling, dipping, and cooking.
• Potential Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The “peppery” sensation often signals higher polyphenol content.
• Oxidative Stress Protection: Antioxidants help guard cells against damage from free radicals.
