Introducing an extra virgin olive oil from an award-winning producer and expert olive oil sommelier. Marianna is a champion of her local varieties and of combining art and science to create the most balanced and thoughtful olive oils.
Harvest: November 2022.
Ingredients: Manaki and Megaritiki olive.
Producer: The Manginas Family—Marianna & George.
Origin: Kalentzi, Peloponnese, Greece.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never chemical) means. The olives were milled within 24 hours of harvest. This oil is lightly filtered so it will have some cloudiness.
Agriculture: Regenerative. No/low-till. Minimal intervention. Non-irrigated.
Soil type: Calcium-based.
This oil comes to us from the powerhouse that is Marianna on a 14 hectares plot that this one-time city girl has been transforming into award-winning oil from her husband, George's family—the Manginas.

Together as a family, they are working in harmony with nature through improved farming practices like ground cover, no/low tillage, and incorporating chicken manure.

See their full story.
Tastes like...
A delicate and fruity single estate olive oil with aromas of red apple, oregano, and a hint of basil and mint. An elegant mouthfeel with even more dried herbs on the palate. The finish is long, with cracked black pepper and a gentle, lingering spice.

Pairs with...
Pestos—In fresh, herby sauces like pesto, chermoula, and chimichurris! Perfect to put this over pasta, beans, potatoes.
Salads—Marinating summer tomatoes or drizzled over fruit salads.
Ice cream—Poured over vanilla ice cream with a bit of sea salt, or with crème fraîche over a chocolate cake with berries in the sunshine.
100% olives from small batches. Nothin' but the juice, baby.

This oil was harvested when the olives were green but turning ripe on the trees. This batch came in at 359 mg/kg of polyphenols, which is above the 250 mg/kg benchmark set by EU Regulation (No. 432/2012) about high-polyphenol olive oils.

Introducing a small-batch EVOO from Northern Portugal

It seems like everyone in the olive oil world knows Marije. Ambitious, but decidedly artisan, she represents a new wave of olive oil producers who are increasingly improving the whole industry while keeping it small. This is a story about friends. In the early days of our olive oil adventures, we stumbled around Portugal meeting some of the most exciting women coming up in the space. That led us to Ana, our second producer ever and one who makes multi-award winning, high-polyphenolic extra vi...

Meet Ana: our olive oil producer from Alentejo, Portugal

Meeting this producer actually changed the course of our business. She became the goal of what an “ideal” producer looked like and established a level of quality that’s truly a rare find in the olive oil industry. As we turn down the roads to get to the farm, the path turns from pavement to dirt. This was our very first “sourcing” trip, after only having worked with our close family friends in Greece. We didn’t really know what to expect or what we were getting into.... But nevertheless, we t...
