Description

The GRECIALS Manaki Extra Virgin Olive Oil (1L) is an authentic, premium-grade EVOO produced in Greece through cold mechanical extraction. Extracted exclusively from the prized indigenous Manaki olive cultivar, this monovarietal olive oil is celebrated for its rounded delicacy, light sweetness, and subtle hints of ripe fruit and fresh herbs—avoiding the overly sharp, peppery bitterness found in heavier olive varieties.

With a strictly certified acidity level under 0.4%, it ranks far above the standard regulatory requirements for extra virgin classification, representing the highest tiers of olive fruit purity, early-harvest care, and hygienic pressing.

Distinctive Profile & Characteristics

• Monovarietal Manaki Olives: Handled with care from harvest to extraction to showcase the authentic, mild aromatic qualities unique to the historic Greek olive-growing regions.

• Ultra-Low Acidity (< 0.4%): Exceptional purity reflecting healthy, undamaged fruit pressed immediately after picking, providing a soft palate finish.

• Cold Extraction (Kalt gepresst): Mechanically pressed below 27°C to preserve natural vitamins (E and K), beneficial polyphenols, and antioxidant compounds.

• Protective Cylindrical Tin Canister: Shields the oil completely from UV rays and ambient light, ensuring maximum longevity, polyphenol stability, and fresh taste right down to the final drop.

Culinary Pairing & Uses

• Finishing & Dipping: Drizzle generously over warm focaccia, sourdough bread, burrata, Greek feta, fresh heirloom tomatoes, and carpaccio.

• Salads & Dressings: Creates a silky, balanced emulsion when whisked with white balsamic vinegar, oregano, lemon juice, or fresh shallots.

• Delicate Cooking & Roasting: Ideal for drizzling over grilled sea bass, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, pasta sauces, and steamed greens without overwhelming natural dish flavors.
