Our naturally cloudy extra virgin olive oil Mandinia comes from the Mani coastal region, about 10 km south-east of Kalamata on the Peloponnese peninsula. The harvest of our house brand (Koroneiki olive variety) is carried out by hand by family members and friends, usually in early / mid-November. The quality is extraordinarily good, among other things due to the olive variety and the particularly exposed south-facing location of the grove (terraces). With an acidity of max. 0.3%, our house brand is well below the PDO limit for extra virgin olive oil (0.5%).
Mandinia was awarded the silver medal at the London International Olive Oil Competition (IOOC) in June 2023.
Our olive oil, which is lovingly produced in the family association, is of course obtained directly from our own olives, natural and exclusively with mechanical processes through cold pressing. We do not use any pesticides or herbicides and only use natural or organic fertilizers. It is bottled unfiltered, so it is naturally cloudy and contains all the unbridled power of the olive. Please shake before each use, as the valuable suspended matter will settle.
