MANOLIS FAMILY olive oil stands out due to its distinctive character, which is defined by three key tasting qualities: The first is pungency, a pleasant, peppery sensation of slight burning in the throat.

This characteristic primarily comes from early-harvested, unripe olives and typically lasts only a few seconds after tasting. The second quality is bitterness, a distinctive flavor derived from green olives and olives at the initial stage of ripening.

The bitter and pungent tastes result from the valuable compounds oleacein and oleocanthal, both renowned for their powerful anti-inflammatory properties. The third quality is fruitiness, expressing the aroma and taste reminiscent of fresh olive fruit.

This characteristic is especially noticeable through the nose and originates from healthy, fresh olives harvested at their optimum ripeness. Together, bitterness, pungency, and fruitiness constitute the positive attributes defining extra virgin olive oil.

MANOLIS FAMILY olive oil consistently achieves zero defects in sensory evaluations, ranking it among the finest extra virgin olive oils, with rich aromas and perfectly balanced flavors.
