Description

Discover the refined elegance of Greece’s most delicate olive cultivar with The GRECIALS Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Variety Manaki, Greece – 750ml e). Sourced in partnership with dedicated Greek growers and certified with an ultra-low acidity of less than 0.4%, this single-variety extra virgin olive oil highlights the prized Manaki olive—an indigenous variety celebrated across the Peloponnese for its smooth, non-aggressive profile. The olives are picked with care and cold extracted on the day of harvest using purely mechanical processes to protect delicate aromatic compounds, essential fatty acids, and natural polyphenols.

Distinguished on the world stage with the London IOOC Platinum Quality Award, this oil provides an alternative for connoisseurs who prefer round, fruity, and buttery notes over sharp bitterness or intense throat burn. Packaged in a UV-shielding, dark glass 750ml bottle, it maintains its peak organoleptic qualities over time. It is an exceptional cold finishing oil designed to gently elevate raw salads, fresh shellfish, burrata cheese, and freshly baked artisan breads without overwhelming their subtle flavors.
